Transforming Vet Visits with Dr. Christine Calder

The Bitey End of the Dog

Imagine making your dog's veterinary visits a stress-free experience for both of you. Join us as we chat with Dr. Christine Calder, a Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorist who shares her expertise on low stress handling for animals. As the Chief Behavior Officer for Cattle Dog Publishing, Dr. Calder is passionate about educating veterinary students and helping pet owners create a positive and safe environment during veterinary procedures.
We discuss practical strategies for building trust with your furry friend, such as giving them time to acclimate to the clinic and using treats to assess their emotional state. Dr. Calder emphasizes the importance of understanding canine body language and movement, as well as the role of proper equipment and muzzle training. Together, we explore the benefits of collaborating with trainers to provide comprehensive care for animals with behavioral challenges.
