Vet Stress? The Zen Dog can help

The Zen Dog Presents – A Guided Meditation

Going to the Vet? One of the secrets to a successful trip to the Vet is learning to relax. In this feature our resident Zen Dog will help you achieve complete relaxation through a technique called ‘The Guided Meditation’. With this technique you will enter the ‘alpha-fido’ state of consciousness where you will be able to detach yourself from the ‘Vet Experience’.

This is best done an hour before leaving for the Vets Office. Let’s get started.

Find a quiet room with a soft rug, carpet, bed or pad to lie on. Make sure there are no humans around to disturb you.

OK. Now curl up and slowly close your eyes. Take a deep breath and exhale. Really flap your flews…. that’s it! Bring your attention to your tail. Relax the tail wagging muscles and breathe into your tail…. feel the healing energy and exhale. You’re doing great. Next, breathe into your paws… feel the healing energy flow into your paws…. exhale.

Imagine you’re lying in the soft sand on a sun drenched beach. The sky is blue and there are a few fluffy clouds in the summer sky. The only smell is the aroma of freshly steamed hot dogs wafting in the gently breeze as it caresses your nose. Ahhhhh…… you have no cares or worries.

Later today you will remember this feeling as you spend some quality time with your health care provider….

Slowly bring your attention back to your breathing and begin to open your eyes. You have entered the ‘alpha-fido’ state and you are ready!
