tips for a successful fauna experience

💊 Administer Anxiety Medication if Prescribed

If your vet has prescribed anxiety medication for your pet, administer it before the PETicure process begins.

🍬 Chew Gum or Eat Mint

Pet owners should chew gum or eat mint before and during the PETicure process. This can reduce anxiety-related changes in breath scent, which pets often detect.

😌 Prepare a Quiet Environment

Choose a calm space for the PETicure process where your pet feels safe.

💇 Grooming Introduction

If your pet is new to grooming, practice gentle handling of their paws or areas to be worked on in advance to familiarize them with the process.

💧 Hydration and Exercise

Ensure your pet is hydrated and has had some exercise earlier in the day to help them feel more relaxed.

🧁 Favorite Treats or Toys

Have their favorite treats or toys nearby to help redirect their focus and make the experience more enjoyable.

🐕 Remember, Owner Anxiety Affects Pets

Keep in mind that pets often pick up on their owners’ stress. Staying calm and relaxed will help your pet feel more at ease.
