Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Owner Resources
What resources do you recommend for new pet owners?
We recommend starting with the AVMA website for general pet health guidance and the Fear Free Happy Homes resource for tips on reducing anxiety in your pet at home and during vet visits. For cat owners, Cat Friendly Homes is an excellent starting point. Of course, our team at Healthy Paws Animal Hospital is always available at (626) 310-0677 to answer any questions specific to your pet.
How can I make my pet less stressed at the vet?
There are several things you can do before and during your visit to reduce your pet’s stress. For dogs, bringing high-value treats, keeping them hungry before the visit, and letting us know in advance if they are anxious with strangers or other animals all make a big difference. For cats, acclimating them to their carrier at home and using calming sprays like Feliway can help significantly. Visit our dog owner and cat owner resource pages for detailed tips.
Do you offer any resources specifically for cat owners?
Yes. Our For Cat Owners page covers fear-free carrier preparation, transport tips, and how to reduce anxiety during veterinary visits — all based on guidance from the American Association of Feline Practitioners. As a certified Cat Friendly Practice, we are also specially equipped to provide a low-stress experience for your cat once they arrive.
Do you offer any resources specifically for dog owners?
Yes. Our For Dog Owners page provides practical advice on preparing your dog for a veterinary visit, including fasting tips, treat preparation, and what to do if your dog is particularly anxious. If your dog has a history of fear or reactivity at the vet, please call us at (626) 310-0677 ahead of your appointment so we can prepare accordingly.
What is Fear Free veterinary care?
Fear Free is a movement in veterinary medicine focused on reducing fear, anxiety, and stress in pets during veterinary visits and at home. It involves specific handling techniques, environmental modifications, and communication strategies that make the experience more positive for animals. Our team incorporates fear-free principles into every visit at Healthy Paws Animal Hospital, and we recommend the Fear Free Happy Homes website as a great resource for continuing those practices at home.
