Making patients more comfortable before beginning any procedures helps them associate the veterinary clinic with a positive and safe environment. When animals feel at ease, they are less likely to be stressed or fearful, which can turn an intimidating experience into one they tolerate—or even enjoy. Comfort measures might include giving treats, using calming pheromones, speaking softly, or engaging in gentle petting or play. This approach builds trust, reduces anxiety, and creates a bond between the veterinarian and the patient. Over time, these positive experiences help animals look forward to visits because they learn they will be treated with care and respect. It also allows for smoother examinations and treatments, benefiting both the pet and the veterinary team. #drtom #veterinarian #fyp #veterinariansoftiktok #VetLife #vetmed #puppy #puppiesoftiktok #dogsoftiktok #dog #kindnessmatters #patienceformypatients @Clove Shoes @GREENIESbrand

This little pup holds a special place in my heart as one of the first stars of my social media journey. At the height of the pandemic, when pet parents couldn’t join their fur babies inside, I found a way to bridge the gap by sharing moments of love and care through videos. That simple act of reassurance became the foundation of this incredible community. Thank you for helping me grow this platform into what it is today—your support means the world! #drtom #veterinarian #fyp #veterinariansoftiktok #puppy #VetLife #puppiesoftiktok #vetmed #puppies

Patient presented after ingestion of an unknown toxin. Providing detailed information about the potential toxin, including the substance, amount, and time of ingestion, is critical for formulating an accurate diagnosis and implementing the most effective treatment plan. Without this information, treatment must often be broad-spectrum, which may delay targeted interventions and impact prognosis. Veterinary professionals prioritize patient care and confidentiality—details shared by owners are used solely to guide diagnosis and treatment, not for reporting to authorities. #drtom #veterinarian #fyp #veterinariansoftiktok #VetLife #vetmed #puppy #puppiesoftiktok #patienceformypatients #kindnessmatters #puppies

Plucking Away for Better Ear Health! 🐾✨ Did you know some breeds are prone to excessive hair growth inside their ears? This can trap moisture, debris, and wax, creating the perfect environment for infections. Sometimes, hair removal is necessary to improve airflow and keep those ears clean and healthy. #VeterinaryCare #HealthyEars #PetWellness #drtom #veterinarian #veterinariansoftiktok #fyp #VetLife #dog #dogsoftiktok #patienceformypatients #vetmed #puppytiktok
