Can you really blame pets for hating the vet with a passion? Some of us humans aren’t very fond of going to the hospital either, and we know why we’re going to see the doctor.
Animals just don’t get the point of being forced into a room with a stranger, poked and prodded and sometimes even restrained, all to appease their owners.
Many pets learn to hate the vet when they're young, and as they’re forced to go again over the years they become hip to that vet jive- some even come up with clever ways to avoid taking that terrifying trip to the vet.
When a pet discovers they're going to the vet it makes for an extremely photographic moment, and the expression on their face as they’re being taken to see their least favorite human is priceless!

On Thursday we'll be going on our second camping trip with our old Schnoodle (he's almost 12). The first trip did not go well for him. Today I bought Bach's Rescue Remedy for pets. I'll dose him before we get in the truck. If it helps him handle the stress of the ride, I'll be using it for all trips to the vet and groomer too.

These poor babies. Even if a pet has no experience with a veterinarian, they can smell the fear and sometimes sickness of other animals that preceded them. If we could only explain it better to them!
