DealDash Pets: Take Your New Pet to the Vet

After getting a new pet it’s important to take them for a check-up. Here are some tips for a stress-free first visit.

You just got a new pet, how exciting!! However, reign in that excitement, because it’s very important to take them to the vet when you first get them to make sure that they are healthy. Here are some tips to keep your pet happy and stress-free during that first visit, from DealDash.

Use a Pet Carrier

If your pet is small enough to fit in a pet carrier, such as a puppy, kitten, or cat, then you should bring them in the carrier. When a new pet is riding in your car they can feel very insecure. The pet carrier makes them feel safe and secure. Not only that, you can seatbelt the carrier in so it doesn’t move around during the trip.

In the carrier, you can put a soft blanket or towel as well as a soft toy for them to cuddle or a bone or chew toy for a puppy. If you have a blanket or towel that you have been sleeping on, you should use that one. It will make them feel more safe and secure.

Try Treats

If your pet has a favorite kind of treat, bring a little bag of them along. These treats can be very helpful in keeping your pet happy and calm during the vet visit. Also, it will be a nice bonding experience to give your pet some of their favorite treats after the vet visit is over.

Keep Calm

Animals are very intuitive and can tell when their humans are nervous or upset. When they sense that you are upset it makes them feel upset as well. Dogs and cats can be very empathetic to their humans. So if you have any anxiety about this vet visit, try to keep calm, cool, and collected so your pet doesn’t get upset as well. Put on a brave face even if going to the vet makes you feel nervous. Remember, this is just a check-up, your pet is going to be fine.
