Why “The Gentle Vet”
Because we prioritize your animals’ boundaries, we will never force or pressure them into procedures that compromise their comfort. We have ample experience in various settings, and believe a respectful, considerate approach to an animal’s wellness is an indication of excellent healthcare.
Here at The Gentle Vet, we strive to cultivate a low-stress environment suited for every pet, where they will feel safe and retain the whole of their dignity. With a collaborative effort between the pet, its owner, and our own experienced staff members, we aim to make your visits the most supportive and beneficial they can be.

What You Should Expect When Visiting
There are many things we do to maximize an animal’s comfort while in our care. For example, we keep Adaptil and Feliway diffusers in our front and exam rooms to encourage the pets to relax.
For our feline patients, it may be helpful to do the same on your end. If possible, bring in your animal swaddled in soft material (like a towel), which has been sprayed with Feliway inside their carrier. This will help to soothe them while on the way over, and make it easier for us to take over from there.
We also invite you to bring your pet’s favorite treats and toys. It’s often most effective for your pet to be a little hungry so that the prospect of their treats will be more exciting.
