We don’t just have real, smoked chicken for dogs. We have real shrimp for cats too! Marilyn sure enjoyed it! #fearfreecertified #becauseweloveourpatients #ahlv #lakevilla #lakecountyil

On the left, look at the ears! Perry was a little stressed and scared. Most hospitals at this point would pull the cat out into the table but not is! Our Fear Free Certification gives us handling techniques and tips like performing exams in carriers. Now look at the picture on the right. Ears perked up, and looking around! #fearfreecertified #becauseweloveourpatients #catsofinstagram #ahlvpatients

Part of our Fear Free Certification means performing exams under blankets or inside carriers for any of our nervous patients. #fearfreecertified #becauseweloveourpatients #catsofinstagram

You can tell by the dilated eyes that Mr. PoPo was starting to get a little nervous at the vet. We sprayed his kennel with Feliway, a pheromone that helps cats feel at ease in new surroundings. He's also listening to iCalm for cat music! Now he's peeking his head out and relaxing with ease! #FearFreeCertified #cutecat #catsofinstagram #ahlvpatients
