What do I do if my dog is aggressive at the vet?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

If your dog is aggressive at the vet, talk to your vet in advance on what to do. Having explained all that, it's a lot better to be proactive than to hold your breath and hope for the best. That's why it's a good idea to contact your vet in advance of your appointment.


Why is my dog aggressive towards the vet?

Aggressive behaviors toward strangers in a veterinary situation should not be mislabeled dominance or status related aggression. Most dogs that are aggressive at the veterinary office are exhibiting fear related aggression.

What do you do if your dog hates the vet?

Try to make arrangements with your veterinarian's office to stop by several times for nothing more than a social call. Ask the receptionist to give your dog a few treats and some friendly petting, and soon your dog may look forward to visiting the vet.
