COURSE DESCRIPTION
Don’t freak me-owt!
In this FREE one-hour video course on feline examination, Dr. Margaret Gruen is calling out pillowcase carriers and preconceived bias! We’re joining certified Behaviorist Dr. Margaret Gruen on a clinic trip critique from arrival to return. After exploring the feline perspective and how negative associations form quickly, she’ll give us low-effort, high-impact tips on minimizing fear, anxiety, and stress. And it’s not just for doctors; every team member has a role to play in curating the feline experience, even the client. It’s time to stop scruffing and skip the scary lobby waits.
In this one-hour video course, get valuable tips, tools, and strategies to improve feline veterinary visits.
We’re excited to offer this course for FREE, thanks to the support of Zoetis!
