Our dog Harry was abused by a previous owner. He gets anxious around strangers and usually fights getting a shot or having his nails done. I regret I did not catch the name of the Veterinarian Doctor that treated him. She talked softly to him, patted him, felt his underbelly, legs etc. She did a complete exam, checked his teeth, drew blood, gave a shot and trimmed some of his nails. Harry usually goes nuts having several people to hold him. This examination was different - it went off without squirming, whimpering, barking, biting etc. I attribute all of this to the Veterinarian Doctor at Dravosburg Veterinary Hospital.
