At the Yellowhead Veterinary Clinic, our team is committed to creating a calm, relaxing clinic atmosphere and have implemented fear free handling and restraint techniques to minimize anxiety, to help build trust, and to practice low-stress veterinary care.
One of the ways we try to minimize stress, is by having a PET-FREE lobby. Feel free to pop in on your own to pick up food and medications, but if your pet is visiting for an appointment – please TEXT us (587-604-5771) prior to entering the clinic! We can then ensure that only one furry friend is in the lobby at a time – decreasing anxiety and unwanted encounters!
We also incorporate the use of treat rewards as well as the option of pre-visit pharmaceuticals to help keep your pet as comfortable as possible during their visit.
We want your pet to come for regular wellness checks, to help stay happy and healthy. A fear free visit makes those experiences positive for all involved…the pet, the client and our team!
