does your dog like going to the vet?

[Southpaw]

Molly doesn't mind it, but she gets VERY gassy while we are at the vet, which I assume is from her nerves or something.

Lucy...I don't know, she doesn't seem like she hates it, but I don't think she likes it either. She wants to sniff around at everything, not be held still so the vet can check her over, lol. She's not too terrible though, put a treat in front of her and she doesn't care at all about the shot lol.

Boone loves it. The vet is right in our backyard basically. I can see in their back window when I'm out there.
So naturally we walk by it on our walks. That's the only time he pulls now, he tries to get in to see the girls.

pepe doesn't mind. anything that involves a car ride, he's up for it. didi's fine, until she goes in the vet's office, she HATES shots.

Coco loves it...the car ride, the chance to show off, she doesn't even mind it when they take her back to clinic to clean her ears...she's a big girl now and doesn't want mom walking her to the clinic door anymore. Especially if her friend Kathy the tech comes and gets her.

Trouble has a bit more of a problem...not that she doesn't love her vet, she does. But the car ride is painful with her back problem. Fortunately it only lasts about 7 minutes, but I hate to see the look on her face while she tries to find someway to easy the pressure and get comfortable.

Nope Kota hates it. She loves car rides but as soon as she steps into the vets office she pee's.

Dakota loves it. I took him in a lot when he was a puppy just for fun visits, and our vet ADORES him. He says Dakota is one of the only dogs that greets him with such enthusiasm.
Ripley doesn't like the part where he has to be nice and not eat the vet/techs/people in the lobby. Otherwise, he's fine with it too. Ripley yips when he gets a shot because they always use the big needles, and Dakota doesn't even seem to feel it.

Weasley loves it, I think he associates it with being saved because we brought him there a couple hours after we got him because he was in such rough shape and I didn't want anything passed on to the cats. Winnie reserves judgement, she doesn't mind visits, but hates overnight stays as she had to when she was young to have her cherry eye corrected, but we had her fixed at the same time so she won't have to again unless there's an emergency.

 

[LabBreeder]

Mine don't mind the vet at all...it's the car ride that they don't like. Tira will try to hide her head behind your back, or sit real still and brace herself when you brake...Gunner doesn't care about the moving, he just gets car sick. Poor puppy!

Neither one of them mind shots or being on the table.They don't like the fecal float stick!

didi yips too.

Bear sort of likes going to the vet. She doesn't love it, but she enjoys the attention. She does get a little nervous though.

 

[GSDlover_4ever]

Caza doesnt care about the vet. He tolerates it but prefers for people no to touch him.

Neeko loves the attention. Everyone says hi. He's a people lover, BIG TIME.

Joe is terrified but I am working with him on that. He just gets this look in his eyes that makes me so mad, that someone could mess up a dog so much, but thats besides the point.

Hondo walks in like he owns the place. He doesnt care about anything but me and the treats.

Emma doesn't love it, however she's still a good girl while she's there. She's a little angel there, never puts up a fuss.

Moco is at the other side of the spectrum. We have went through two vets so far, each of them gently asked us to not come back The last time we went to the vets we couldn't even get a muzzle on him, and when we did, he was snarling and kicking up such a fuss that the vet could get absolutely nothing completed. With that being said, that paticular vet didn't handle it properly and it could of been a better experience if she wasn't so ignorant.

My beagle is a pain to get in the vet's office itself. We get him out of the car to bring him in and he literally sits in the parking lot and we have to push him in. It's funny though.
