Its important that the our patients feel relaxed and comfortable. This wonderful dog enjoyed a bottom scratch with a chin tickle and along with the song didnt flinch whilst his blood was taken. A gold ⭐️ patient! #fearfreepets #hawthornvets #xfactor

When one dog needed to come in for a blood draw, he was understandably nervous. The three-year-old Labrador needed to have his blood tested before being sedated for a biopsy. So, three members of the vet staff stepped in to keep him calm. The nurses can be seen stroking and singing to the dog while his blood is being taken. It worked! The brave dog stayed calm throughout the procedure.

The video of the vet staff calming the dog has garnered praise on social media. Many people were pleased to see how hard the vet staff worked to ensure that the anxious dog was cared for and calm during his visit. Luckily, he is now recovering well.
