The animal should be accustomed to visits to the doctor so that it is not a serious stress for them. This should be started from an early age.

But it is important to remember that the puppy may be frightened by new smells and sounds, and if this is also accompanied by pain, the situation becomes much more complicated.

Therefore, a special approach is needed here.

The road to the veterinary clinic should be comfortable for the animal.

You shouldn't feed your dog before a trip. Otherwise, stress or motion sickness will cause stomach problems.

It is desirable that there are no painful procedures the first time.

You also need to introduce the puppy to the doctor first. You should pet the pet together with the specialist.

In addition, the dog needs to be given time to get used to the smells in the clinic.

You should wait for a positive reaction from your pet, and for it to show interest in the veterinarian. Only then should you proceed to the examination.

After the procedures, you can treat your pet with a treat.
