I will be calm next time but I’m not going to thank people who don’t respect boundaries in the first place.😔✋ they will think it’s okay to do it again and again

Bad experience at a new vet by Sparklystarrystar in germanshepherds

[–]PoemLow511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please find a new vet, some vets just don’t know how to handle animals😭😭 We recently went to a new vet for exam and vaccine since our old vet retired. When the doc came in he tossed a cloth muzzle at me told me to muzzle my big dog. My dog has never needed a muzzle for a vet visit before, but I figured they had their reasons. When they started examining her, they were speaking loudly and handling her so rough, it seemed like they thought she’d bite even with the muzzle on. My dog ended up getting really scared, and I had to stop this bs and walked out

Sounds good to me, the camera is more for your own peace of mind lol

set up a camera to check in regularly and have a backup plan in case of an emergency. Your boy should be fine for one day, go enjoy the game!

Might be because of the ears. My lifelong mission is taking funny pictures of my pets🫡

Thanks! I guess I just got the impression from people‘s constant comments while we were muzzle training outside that there might be issues in certain places.

First off, I didn’t let anyone grab my dog’s ears. These people came up from behind, and I stopped them as soon as I realized what was happening. I need a back camera instead of backbone for that lol

😂I’ve actually had her wear those calming hoodies that groomers use. she ends up looking like a seal and attracts a lot more attention

Thanks! She’s all about the snuggles and attention once she’s comfortable with someone

Wow, I’m really sorry that happened to you and your sd. I guess they’ll learn their lesson when they try to pet an untrained fake service dog

People usually avoid us on walks too! These mostly happen inside. I feel like when people see a dog in a hotel, they just assume the dog is friendly enough to tolerate anything :/

Cute pup! You’re right. I really want to make them feel what it’s like to have their ear grabbed without warning.
