Dog thread!🐾

Your idea to scope it out is good. Some vet offices are happy to just text you if you prefer to wait outside and avoid any kind of dog drama.

Thanks! That’s a good idea too

With the jumbo breeds, it's not even usually about me and my dog it's about some people who are not comfortable around them. And then there is also being "red listed," it's not such a bad thing, you get special treatment, haha.

Oh gosh lol yeah I totally get what you mean about some not being comfortable around larger dogs cause some aren’t comfortable around pits either and some think even Brew is large lol

He hasn’t been in since they neutered him so I’m hoping he doesn’t hold a grudge LOL

If you are nervous he will pick up on it. Best to just be relaxed. Don't do any of that comforting which reinforces bad behaviors. I mostly ignore my dogs and sit quietly with them when at the vet.

The clinic staff likely want to avoid any problems as much as you so I'm sure they'd be happy to discuss things like waiting outside. A few of mine don't like bigger dogs, as we only have littles, so we just wait out the front or in the car if it's super busy.

Awe, thank you. We think so too, he's just a huge goof ball and I hope he never grows out of the little tuft of hair that sticks up on his head.

Thanks guys. Super helpful. And I definitely don’t do the comforting stuff. If anything I tell him no/correct it when he’s going bat shiz lol or just leave and redirect.

im worried about Tucker and the vet..
Hopefully the new vet is good as our old one i didnt like.
Tucker isnt fond of dogs smaller dogs. But we are working with him and dogs his size and up. And he is doing well.
