Does your dog or cat "hate the vet?”

At Best Life Mobile Vet we strive to give your pets the most positive and low-
stress experience possible.

By coming to your driveway and providing private one-
on-one care in our truck we reduce the stressors for your pet during their visit.

However, sometimes we may still need to use different techniques or tools (such
as treats, fear free restraint, muzzles, and even drug protocols) to make your visit
with us go as safely and smoothly as possible for everyone involved.

Depending on your pet, Dr. McStay may suggest "chill protocol" or oral sedation
for the appointment. A "Chill Protocol" involves a combination of oral
medications that effectively reduce anxiety and fear.

  The medications are used together to increase their effectiveness and
reduce side-effects. These protocols have been successfully used to improve
veterinary visits and are to be given as directed prior to each appointment.
If we find a pet is still struggling with fear during the appointment, we may need
to pause and give your pet a break or reschedule and return another time. While
we know you’d prefer to get all the vaccines or other treatments done in one

visit, please know this is for their well-being.

​

*When scheduling please inform us if your pet has expressed fear or anxiety at
previous vet visits, or has a history of needing oral sedation. Knowing this
information ahead of time helps us make an appropriate plan to help them be as

comfortable as possible.

*If Dr. McStay has prescribed oral sedation to your pet please give as directed
prior to visits.  Failure to give these medications as prescribed before a visit may

result in needing to reschedule.

 

Our goal is to create a safe, positive experience for your pet each time they see

Dr. McStay. Thank you for your understanding!
