Compassionate care for your pet's well-being.
Preparing for Your Visit
At Geneseo Veterinary Care, we strive to make every visit as stress-free and comfortable as possible- for both you and your pet. To help us provide the best ecperience, here are a few things to know before your appointment.
Separate Entrances
To reduce stress and ensure a smoother visit, we offer separate entrances:
​
Dogs: Please use the entrance at the far end of the building, labeled Dog Entrance, which includes a wheelchair accessible ramp.
​
Cats & Exotics: Please use the entrance labeled Cats & Exotics Entrance, accessible by staircase.
​
This setup helps minimize anxiety and overstimulation, especially for our more sensitive patients.
Fear-Free Certified Care
Dr. Lauren Wisser is Fear-Free Certified, meaning she uses proven techniques and thoughtful handling to reduce fear, anxiety and stress. From the moment you arrive, we prioritize your pet's emotional well-being- treats, gentle handling, and a calm environment are all part of the experience.
Helpful Tips
Bring favorite treats or toys that your pet finds comforting.
​
For cats and exotics, cover carriers with a towel to reduce visual stress, and keep the carrier flat and secure during transport.
​
If your pet is especially nervous and is a current patient, ask us about pre-visit pharmaceuticals or other calming options.
​
For exotic pets during colder seasons, pre-warm your vehicle and place a warm water bottle or heating pad in their carrier.
