For Our Veterinary Partners
We help prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety & stress for your client’s pets during their check ups
Do you have patients that growl or bite your staff?
Do you have clients who avoid regular veterinary care because of their pet’s behavior?
Do you have patients that are so stressed during exams it may be compromising their health?
Do your clients ask you questions about why a behavior is happening?
Fear, pain, anxiety and stress may coexist in many animal patients, challenging even the most experienced veterinary staff. LOMA Behavior and Training specializes in creating kind and practical training plans that follow the Joint Standards of Practice used by reputable training organizations.
We work collaboratively with our veterinary colleagues so all pets get the care they need with the least stress possible. For example, one of our clients stopped getting their dog’s routine vaccinations because he was too stressed and aggressive during the exam. With our behavior modification plan, these clients were able to get their dog vaccinated without any physical restraint. We can do the same for your clients.
