    Font - I took my poodle girl to the vet. She gets really scared going there because in the past, she had a traumatic experience having to be brought in half paralyzed and in tons of pain. I also think having to stay at the hospital for a week really scared her. She is doing much better now though and relearned to walk! So this time was just an annual check up.

    Font - Still, she was shaking during the exam. So I stood with her and took her head in my hands so she could try and focus on me instead of all the poking and prodding. Oh my gosh, the look in her eyes was of complete trust that I have never felt from anyone else before. It was like she was trusting me with her life!! She was such a good girl for the dr after that - staying very still as much as she could.

    Font - I love her so much and I feel so honored that she loves me so much too that she would trust me with everything like that. I know how precious that is and promised to protect her forever. Just wanted to share. :)

    Font - Bison Puppy 8 days ago I love this! My little girl used to be a street dog, and the first time she went to the vet they took her eyeball. She does okay in regular check ups now, but when I got her teeth cleaned she wouldn't talk to me for days after. I felt like the meanest wretch and ended up bribing her with a little saucer of milk on the third day because I missed her lap snuggles.

    Font - Joeb667 8 days ago This reminds me of when we tried to condition our dogs to sleep off the bed at night. Put some enclosure "fencing" around the bed. It lasted one day. They were so incredibly hurt- hecka concerned. (Now we happily sleep on the bed with our dogs and cat.)

    Font - grumpy__growlithe 8 days ago My Bear is anxious and terrified of the vet. We got started at a new one after we moved, and as the vet was checking his heart I started cooing at my pup. When I did the vet whispered "Keep it up, his heart rate lowers when you do".

    Font - funktopus 8 days ago Labrador During covid the vet tech would come out to the car to get the animal bring them in do the check up and the vet would come out and talk to you and bring the animal back. My lab would just drop to the ground and not move for the tech. So I would start walking to the door and he would follow. Then by the time he realized I was not behind him they are in exam 1 and he was fine. What is funny is he loves the techs. Once he is inside the prodding and what not is f

    Font - Big_Statistician_883 8 days ago. edited 8 days ago 6yo Maltese & 1,5yo Golden Retrie... Yup I've also realised that when they absolutely do no budge when they're lying on the floor. Like they will be in the middle of the kitchen, we'd be getting busy around them but they just won't move. They just trust that we won't step on them by accident even though we're moving our feet around them.

    Font - JaunxPatrol 8 days ago Realized this with my dog when we took her backpacking. She'd definitely exhibited some impulse control issues at the park and even on day hikes, going running off after squirrels or deer and not responding to us calling her back. At a campsite deep in the woods though, she could smell that this was a whole new world, and stuck to us like glue, we didn't have to leash her at all!

    Font - Bluepompf 8 days ago When I adopted my dog I needed to go to the vet three days after. He was afraid and in pain and still he looked at me and I could see the love in his eyes. He loves me so much and I believe he thinks I saved him.

    Font - RJKaste 7 days ago . Unconditional love from an animal is the most that you could expect in life. Don't ever do anything to betray her. If you notice when she goes to the bathroom and she looks at you? She is looking to you for safety. Complete unconditional love.

    Font - Hot-Muscle-92027 days ago I think Maxie trusts us too and I love it so much. I love the little visual checkins when we are walking. I love how he looks at me all hurt if I accidentally bump into him or step on his foot (never mind that he spends much of his time slamming his 70-pound body into us, stepping on our feet, and sitting on us with his bony butt and/or elbows piercing some body part). But I most loved when he got part of a treat stuck in the roof of his mouth and started to pani

    Font - cb27ded 5 days ago As soon as we pull into the parking lot, my dog will shake the entire time she is at the vet. I even went up there yesterday to get her some joint supplements, and the vet tech recognized the name, and commented how she remembers her because of how much she shakes, but never snaps or flinches. Said she doesn't have a mean bone in her body.

    Font - aratremlap 5 days ago What a beautiful post! Thank you for the reminder, having some struggles with my fearful boy on a road trip, and I needed to hear this! He does better when I stop, look in his eyes, and give him time settle down! Really needed to hear this, thank you!
