Yes, Stiggy loves the attention. Especially from the lady techs.

Vet = Attention = The bullies LOVE it!

 

[TessaAndSamson]

Samson doesn't hate it there, he loves the attention but in general I'd say no. Once we sit down to wait our turn he gets real close to me, sometimes he shivers, he sheds like CRAZY. When we go for something that they need to take him to the back alone he puts the breaks on. I have to walk most of the way back there with them because otherwise they'd have to drag or carry him. He likes the people there just fine but he just does not want to be anywhere in there without me.

They love the car ride, the attention, seeing other dogs, and our Vet treats them like they are celebrities. They all HATE going to the groomer though. Winston wont even walk by the groomers door when we are at Petsmart!

Silva hates it! She whines, shakes and shivers, hides under the chair but she likes the attention from the girls!

Beefy HATES the vet. But thats because evrytime he goes they are expressing anal glands and poking at but his butt...i would hate them too

 

[KMARINO]

Here's how smart poor Vegas is...he LOVES going, first the car ride, then the other dogs, then all the attention the girls AND our vet gives him...and everytime we have went is for shots, INTERNAL anal gland expression, and a nasty ear infection that had to be cleaned out while he was crying it hurt so bad!!! You would think he would put the front brakes on at the door, but oh no, in he goes happy to see everyone again UNTIL he gets into the exam room, then he starts pacing and I can tell he is very nervous, woulden't YOU be?? LOL!!!

Vegas is the same way. He love going in the car...the treats and attention. He jumps on the scale without being told. He's even fine in the exam room. Usually when we are there, they want blood out of his jugular. They usually don't get it the first time..and sometimes not even the second. But, he still runs to the door every time we get there. Orion..she's a pickle. She would rather not be in the presence of any other four legged creature that doesn't bow down to her.

o lex loves the attention of the vet techs and our vet is wonderful with him... he loves to play with the cat at the office but hates when he jumps up on the counter were lex cant get to him..

awww i miss my baby being that little

 

[LariP]

Gracie does not like the vet. She was ok the first time we went. She didn't even flinch when they took blood and gave her a shot. But the second time she went back she remembered and she was a lot more leery about going through the door.
even worse when she had to go back for checkups after her hernia repair and teeth cleaning surgery.

She Loves going to PetSmart, and Pet Supplies Plus, but is very afraid of the sliding doors and the noise they make. Once she's inside though she's happy.

 

[NICASFINEST]

AS SOON AS BUGZY HEARS KEYS HE RUNS TO THE DOOR. HE LOVES GOING FOR CAR RIDES AS SOON AS WE GET TO THE VET HE STARTS TO ACT ALL NERVOUS AND FISTY WITH THE OTHER DOGS, THEN WHEN WE HAVE TO PICK HIM UP TO PUT HIM ON THE TABLE HE STARTS GETTING SCARED AND PUTS UP A BIT OF A FIGHT, BUT WHEN THEY HAVE TO TAKE HIM TO THE BACK ALONE! HE TEND TO EXTEND HIS BACK PAWS AND HOLD ON TO THE DOORWAY WITH THEM!!!!LOL BUT ONCE HIS OUT HES HAPPY AND IS PULLING US TO GET HIM IN THE CAR...ASAP

the vets office is the place for attention, and treats--the dried liver ones- --- I bought a tub for $24.00 and they are sooooo glad.
but it is the techs that make the difference.
