    To those with more than one dog

    How many dogs can you comfortably take to the vet's at one time? When I take my two I make my appointments in the evening so hubby can come with me. I find it too hard to keep track of two dogs and two leashes in the waiting room when there are other critters in there that need sniffing. When I had my two toy poodles years ago I took them both by myself as I could hold one in each hand or on my lap. Not so with Bella girl! LOL!

    I take Duke and Champ together. I have not tried all three yet as the older two are not due again until November. But if it works out that Chopper is due around the same time, I will give it a shot. Duke thinks everyone in the vet is his best friend and Champ is scared to death and sits right next to me shaking. If I have to take Chopper to then he can sit in my lap. Neither one of them are barkers at the vet, Duke just does the boxer-wiggle trying to get everyone to pay attention to him But I almost always go alone-never a problem.

    On occasion I have been know to speak Chopperese.

    I have taken in 2 at once. Grant and Maggie and I have to wait outside since Grant likes to bark the entire time. I prefer just one but Grant and Maggie are due at the same time.

    Haven't tried with all three. Freckles and Dudley go to their vet, Finn to his. I'm sure I could take the three of them, though. Little ones in one hand, Finn in the other.

    I can take all nine of mine ... but I cheat! I have a van equipped with many crates that I pick up and deliver dogs for the grooming shop in. So, all nine of mine go into the dog delivery crates, then come out into the vet's office in pairs ... so I suppose two is the real limit.

    It depends on what's being done, but I usually take them in one at a time because their on different shot schedules.
