Our Commitment to Low-Stress Care

At Highland Pet Hospital, our team is trained in Dr. Sophia Yin's Low Stress Handling® techniques. This science-based approach prioritizes your pet's emotional wellbeing alongside their physical health.

What This Means for Your Pet

We read and respond to your pet's body language
Treats, patience, and gentle handling at every visit
We'll get on the floor with your pet if that's where they're most comfortable
Slower, calmer interactions that reduce fear and anxiety
Techniques proven to make veterinary visits less stressful

Why It Matters

Stressed pets are harder to examine accurately, may need sedation for routine procedures, and can develop lasting fear of veterinary visits. Low-stress handling creates better outcomes and a better experience for everyone—your pet, you, and our team.
