I would definitely look around for another vet. When Max went to our old vet, he wasn't scared but he was reserved. When he retired and we found this new vet office, I was so surprised at the difference.

Max goes in the door by himself. He goes to see the girls behind the counter - they can't touch him, but he does let them see him and talk to him. (Believe me this is a big deal!) He will go into the back room for treatment voluntarily. It is such a difference.

We see all four of the vets and he doesn't give them any problem when they roll him over to look at his stomach. And none of the others have any hesitation either (with the exception of when the vet tries to cut their nails, but that is another story).

They also never say anything bad about the breeds we have - each of whom could be characterized by different behaviors. I've seen everything from tiny yorkies to the biggest dane and I see the same kind expression on their faces. They cry when it's a dogs time and are happy when treatment helps. I've told Dick we'll definitely keep going to these people forever - they are such good people.
