What does your dog hate most about going to the vet2007-11-25 2:52:15

My dog doesn't flinch at shots or any of the things I would have assumed would bother her. She hates the stethoscope. My vet says he's been bitten over stethoscopes more than anything else. I'm just curious if there's one thing in particular your dog (or cat) hates about going to the vet.

Answers:

What my two Boxer pups hate most about the vet is having to stand still on the examination table! If they had it their way, the poor vet would be covered in slobber, on the floor.

The two other dogs we have are a different story. Our Springer Spaniel hates being around the other dogs in the waiting room (luckily he doesn't have to go often). Then our other Boxer dislikes both the car ride and the exam table (poor old guy feels unbalanced on it).

Stethoscopes, shots, X-rays, tests . . .none of it fazes them.

Geeze my dogs love my vet and all the people there. If I had to pick one thing then maybe having their temp. taken.

He doesn't like her looking at his teeth. He'll snap at the vet. : P

My dog hates when the vet opens my dogs mouth and looks at his teeth!

---

Mine worries because the last time we took her and her sister there, her sister didn't come home again. So the worst part is trying to get her out of the car when we get there.

My dog Spotty said he doesn't like the bus-ride as he has travel sickness

She starts to tremble and the only thing that calms her is having a toy in her mouth. She is 70 pounds. .Getting out of the car, right away she smells something wrong is going to happen.

We keep our dogs on a raw diet and limited vaccines (NONE beyond puppyhood and no more then ONE parvo and ONE distemper, NO multi shots) and no monthly chemicals and they never need to see a vet. In my past experience the more you see a vet, the more you neeeed to see a vet. :)
