Kinda related...

I know why I'm seeing the doctor, my dog doesn't understand why he needs to see the vet. When you tell us to go in the room don't make us wait for fuck's sake, the last time my dog looked like he was trying to escape through the ventilation grill in the ceiling and he pissed and shat on the examination table because he had been building anxiety for 20 minutes!

My vet switched fully to having everyone wait in their cars after COVID. The vet comes to get you directly when they're ready for you. It's way better for the pets anxiety.

Where is this? My old vet did that after COVID and I loved it

I am in BC, but I've heard of vets doing this all over the place

This is what I don't get. There's a waiting room. Why are we sent into a (usually) cramped room with no amenities if the person we're seeing isn't immediately available? One time I went to a clinic and the doctor apparently went on their lunch after I'd been walked to the examination room. Like...wtf?
