Fear free practices for Dogs

We start trying to make our patients comfortable as soon as they arrive at West Lake!
  • ​Separate waiting rooms for dogs and cats
  • Adaptil spray for bandanas offered for pets to wear while here in waiting areas/rooms.​
    • ​Adaptil is a calming pheromone for dogs. It mimics the smell of mother's milk allowing dogs to relax and feel safe.
  • Adaptil diffusers in rooms​
  • Paw plate lick mats for treats and cheese for distraction 
  • Treat varieties! 
    • ​Jerky treats, peanut butter banana treats, granola fruit treats, cheese, pup-sicles for surgery patients, and canned dog food for sensitive stomach patients.
  • Non-slip mats on the scale, in room on the table, or on the floor for our larger patients
  • Music plays in our rooms with playlists selected specifically for dogs.
  • Visits tailored to each individual pet's needs
  • Toys for pets to play with during visits
  • Even the wall colors were picked with your pet in mind!
  • Some pets may require additional help during visits and our staff may recommend pre-visit medications to alleviate stress during future visits for your furry friend. 

We Would Love to Have You Visit Soon!
