I rushed my dog to the Vet today and now I feel guilty. - How can I better support him?

Thanks for reaching out with your concern. Please don't feel guilty—taking prompt action shows you're a caring and responsible pet owner. Your dog is lucky to have someone so attentive to his needs!



To better support your furry friend, give him a cozy and quiet space to rest. Dogs thrive on routine, so try to maintain his usual daily schedule with feeding and walks. Offer plenty of fresh water and nutritious food, and monitor for any changes in appetite or energy levels.



A crucial step is observing him for any signs of discomfort or distress. If you notice symptoms like persistent vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, or significant changes in behavior, these could indicate more serious issues that require veterinary attention.



Gentle, reassuring petting can also help reduce his stress levels. Engaging in calm, bonding activities, like a short, easy walk, can be beneficial, ensuring it aligns with any post-treatment care instructions provided by your vet.



If your dog's condition doesn't improve or if new symptoms arise, it might be helpful to book a video consultation with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. By doing so, you can get personalized advice and ensure your dog receives the best care possible.
