Collaborative care consultations for veterinary treatments
Many animals find veterinary visits and in-home health care treatments stressful. Also, for some pets, visiting the veterinary clinic is a traumatic experience, and their caregivers often delay taking their pets for check-ups due to the stress it causes. These situations can be avoided!
Animal Progress now offers Collaborative Care consultations (also known as Cooperative Care) at the Myrtleford Animal Progress clinic. These consultations aim to provide you with the skills to teach your pet how to offer consent behaviours so that a veterinarian can examine your pet and so that you can also provide future in-home care that is needed. This has been a common practice in zoos for many years.
