Journal Scan: Guide for creating a pet-friendly practice

Creating a low-stress environment will not only make your patients and their owners happy, but will also help decrease the risk of injury to you

Review Description

Low-stress handling is important for the safety of the veterinary staff and for the welfare of the patient. The commitment to ensuring the emotional well-being of the patient should be equal to that shown toward the physical well-being of the animals under a veterinarian's care. Before handling animals it is essential to assess the environment and the patient's response to it. Taking the time to create a behavior handling plan makes future visits easier and bonds clients to the practice. Understanding how and when to use handling tools is key to making patient visits safer, more humane, and more efficient. © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
