Vets + Owners + Trainers Working Together = Happy and Healthy Pets !
Many pet owners consider vet visits to be quite stressful and traumatic , but there is an emerging alternative that can dramatically improve those experiences for everyone . Cooperative care is based on the concept of providing as much information as possible to help all parties involved understand how to recognize stress in their animal clients , how to offset that stress using force-free training and management methods , provide a calming physical environment , and encourage the participation of both pet owners and trainers . With thirteen chapters , each written by experts in their fields and based on up-to-date research , Veterinary Cooperative Care seeks to equip the veterinary staff and their clients with the tools and knowledge needed to ensure that everyone looks forward to their next visit to the vet ! 292 Pages , Paperback $ 27.95 , eBook $ 9.99
