Veterinary Victory Visits
75% of dogs exhibit signs of stress, fear, and anxiety before even entering a vet clinic.
Victory Visit - 15 minutes
This short visit is perfect for every dog. During your time in the clinic, you'll have the opportunity to get your dog onto the scale and sit in an exam room. We will conduct a "treat ladder" and provide different items to help your dog feel at ease. We recommend completing a series of these for the best results.
Mock Exam - 30 minutes
While we do our best to replicate an exam setting, nothing beats an actual vet or vet tech joining us! This mock exam will allow real-world practice to ensure your dog gains confidence.
Desensitization Visit - 30 minutes
We will work through training techniques that can aid in the dog's exam. This is called cooperative care, a training method commonly utilized with zoo animals. It is important to help dog's feel that they have a say so in their care.
“Our partnership with Alpine Animal Clinic is an amazing step forward for veterinary care and our community. I hope that these courses will be beneficial for dozens of dogs in Helena. I look forward to meeting more clients through this innovative sessions.”
