Vet visits can cause anxiety in both pets and their owners, triggering the release of adrenaline and cortisol. These stress hormones not only prepare animals for fight or flight but can also mask pain, making it harder for us to accurately assess their condition. That’s why at Pet Pain Relief, we prioritise reducing stress during visits. Our clinic features Floors 4 Paws Pawsafe non-slip flooring throughout, we use unscented cleaning products wherever possible, and our padded examination mat is placed on the floor to avoid lifting dogs onto the table. We have a great selection of treats! For pets with vet-related phobias, we’re happy to discuss calming products or prescription medications before the appointment to ensure a more relaxed experience.
