We recently installed small tablet devices in our exam rooms so we can check people out in the room. It's great for cats and their owners, because they don't need to stop up front and risk a run-in with dogs. It's also great for reactive or dog-aggressive dogs and their owners. This is a small change that's made a huge impact on our clients, and it helps us provide calmer visits.
