If you’ve ever taken a pet to the vet, then you know it’s no easy task – especially if your cat or dog senses that that’s where you’re going long before you get in the car. The fact that your pet knows what’s up even before you leave the house is because you are stressed out about it, and your pet can sense your distress.
One way to reduce the stress of taking your pet to the vet is by taking them for regular car rides, so that they do not associate the car with bad experiences. You should also make sure to leave plenty of time for the drive, so that you aren’t additionally stressed because you’re running late.
