How can I teach my pet to behave during vet visits

Sure! Here are three different ways you can approach teaching your pet to behave during vet visits:

**Positive Reinforcement**: Start by getting your pet comfortable with the vet's office. Take them there just to hang out without any procedures. Bring treats and give them lots of praise for being calm. Gradually introduce them to the exam room and let them sniff around. When they behave well, reward them with treats or their favorite toy!

**Practice Makes Perfect**: Before the actual vet visit, practice handling your pet at home. Get them used to being touched in places the vet will check, like their ears and paws. You can also simulate a vet visit by setting up a little exam station at home. This way, they’ll be more familiar with the routine and less anxious when it’s time to go.
