I’m gonna try and keep this post short and sweet, but when you are at the vets, try and keep your own energy nice and calm.
Pets pick up on how we are feeling, and also know what we are focusing on (if we are e.g. that big dog in the corner that unnerves you, they will know your focus is THAT dog and how you are feeling in relation). Yes, they pick up on other pets and owners too, but you will be the most connected to them.
How? Simply put, our heart is an electromagnetic field and the biggest way they sense the world is through EMFs!
I saw a lady whose dog was whimpering at the vets, she had him on her lap, grasping him tightly to her chest, very distressed look on her face, he carried on whimpering. I suspect she had become stressed as well.
I appreciate it can be hard depending on why you are visiting, but the best thing you can do for your pet is to remain as calm as possible, and FEEL calm.
If you talk to your pet in a rushed, high-pitched ‘it’s ok, it’s ok’ voice, they can FEEL all is NOT ok. Your pace of voice, your pitch, your breathing and your feelings will all be giveaways underneath your words.
To feel calmer, find some calming music on you tube to play; use breathwork – longer exhale will activate your relaxation response; spray you and your pet’s carrier/lead with some pet remedy spray (know to calm pets with its targeted essential oil ingredients); play the Suara Sound Academy Triple OM free download for them in reception on a low volume (I played the calming cat piano music for Puss); use EFT/tapping points to calm yourself.
If you are calmer, you pet will pick up on that.
And when you are in with a vet, if you don’t understand what they are saying, the implications, or instructions, diagnosis, what meds when, etc. ALWAYS ASK for clarity.
It’s ok to say “I’m sorry, I don’t understand, please can you explain that again for me/in more detail….I’m not sure if I got everything there, so may I repeat back to you what I heard….what does that mean exactly?”
Calmer owner, calmer pet.
