Your Dog Is Not “Difficult”
They’ve Just Been Put in the Wrong Situation
At The 100x Mobile Vet, we work with dogs who have been called:
• Reactive
• Fear aggressive
• Anxious
• “Impossible at the vet”
And almost every time…
They’re not bad dogs, they’re misunderstood dogs.
Watch This First
(It Will Change How You See Your Dog)
In it, you’ll hear the story of a dog who was labeled a problem, almost euthanized, and considered “too much”,
and how one shift in understanding turned him into one of the most iconic dogs ever.
It’s the same shift we make with your dog. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
What’s Actually Going On
When a dog: growls, snaps, freezes, or refuses handling
That’s not bad behavior. That’s a dog saying:
👉 “I don’t feel safe.”
And when we ignore that, we create the exact reaction we’re trying to avoid.
Our Philosophy
Change the Experience → Change the Dog
We don’t push through fear. We don’t overpower behavior.
We ask:
👉 “What does your dog need to feel safe enough to say yes?”
Then we build everything around that.
The 3 Types of Dogs We See
1. Dogs Who Just Need to Be Home
For many dogs, the clinic is the problem.
At home:
- They relax
- They accept handling
- They cooperate
We’ve seen dogs where:
- Medications “failed” in clinic
- Sedation didn’t work
but at home?
👉 No drugs needed
👉 Just the right environment
Sometimes the solution is simple: Make it feel safe.
2. Dogs Who Need the Right Distraction
Some dogs don’t need sedation. They need redirection.
We figure out:
- What they love
- What they focus on
- Where their brain goes under stress
And we use that.
Water. Food. Movement. Positioning.
Not force.
👉 We work with their brain, not against it.
3. Dogs Who Need Support
(Sedation Done Right)
Some dogs are too overwhelmed to choose calm.
They’re already in survival mode.
For them, sedation is not failure.
It’s kindness.
Let’s Talk About Sedation
(It Will Change How You See Your Dog)
We hear this every day:
• “Will it change my dog?”
• “Is it safe?”
• “What if they wake up?”
• “My vet tried meds and it didn’t work”
• “Can they eat before?”
• “When will they be normal again?”
• “Why not just muzzle them?”
Let’s clear this up.
“The meds didn’t work before”
You’re probably right. Here’s why:
Most common meds go through:
• The stomach
• The intestines
• The liver (which filters them out)
Some dogs are very good at breaking them down. Not enough reaches the brain
So you see:
• Drowsy at home
• Reactive at the clinic
• Sleepy afterward
That’s not failure. That’s biology.
What We Do Differently
We often use advanced sedation techniques that:
• Work faster
• Work more reliably
• Bypass the parts of the body that block effect (i.e. transmucosal) – see video!
Given before we arrive…
Your dog goes from:
👉 Hyper-alert → to Calm, relaxed, workable
We can safely:
• Examine
• Treat
• Perform diagnostics
And when we’re done?
👉 We reverse it
👉 They wake up
👉 Back to themselves
Will It Change My Dog?
No. This is not personality-changing.
It’s temporary support for the nervous system.
👉 Same dog
👉 Less fear
What About Food?
We guide you clearly beforehand.
• Sometimes light feeding is fine
• Sometimes we adjust timing
You won’t be guessing.
What Happens After?
- Most dogs recover the same day
- Some are sleepy for a few hours
- Back to normal quickly
“What if they wake up?”
They won’t suddenly “wake up and react.”
What we do:
• Dose appropriately
• Monitor closely
• Adjust in real time
Your dog stays calm and controlled.
Why Not Just Muzzle?
Because a muzzle:
• Doesn’t reduce fear
• Doesn’t reduce stress
• Doesn’t improve the experience
It just suppresses the symptom.
We care about the experience.
Because that’s what determines the next visit.
The Result
Dogs who once:
• Snapped
• Trembled
• Couldn’t be examined
Now:
👉 Relax
👉 Cooperate
👉 Recover without trauma
This Is What We Do
We take dogs who were:
👉 “Too aggressive”
👉 “Impossible at the vet”
👉 “Not manageable”
…and we figure them out.
Because when you understand the dog…
Everything changes.
If Your Dog Has Been Labeled “Difficult”
They’re not. They’ve just been in the wrong system.
Let’s fix that.

Testimonials
Our Paw-sitive Reviews
My cat and I had a very good experience today. This was our second yearly visit along with our monthly ones from the 100x Vet Team and I continue to be very satisfied with their service. Their approach in giving my cat her annual exam and her shots were done in the most gentle and respectful manner. I recommend them without hesitation.
— Helene Mineault
Dr. Beth and Elysia provided great and attentive care to Tyla. They reassured us that our geriatric cat is doing well. We would refer the 100x Vet Team without hesitation. Tyla says thank you!
— Danielle Gougeon
The vet and vet tech were very gentle with Charlie during his examination. He is very afraid of new people usually but he let them exam him until it hurt him too much. They were very respectful and kind to Charlie and explained the options for his treatment. I will definitely be booking with them for my other kitties.
— Cressida Dass
Our little poodle’s first vet visit went so well. The team was so good with him and very knowledgeable. It was so comforting for him to be at his home for his check!
— Jos A
Very happy with the in-home visits for my senior kitty. The vets and vet techs are very good with my boy. Everyone was kind, performed any procedures with ease and have kept me up to date on test results. I highly recommend and have already told 2 friends about their wonderful practice.
— Selena Walker
Words aren’t enough to express my gratitude and how much I appreciate 100x Vet. I have 2 cats. They both have medical needs and sparing them the stress of having to transport and go to a vet’s office makes all the difference to their stress levels and their well being. It didn’t matter over the years which doctor and vet technician I’ve had, each has been exceptional.
— H North
All of my cats got examined through this vet and it was amazing! One of my cats is very scared of the vet and will become very escalated at his appointments. It was so nice to see him get his shots and go through the examine extra comfortable because he was at home. Thank you so much!!!!
— Molly McGovern
They handled my angry old cat wonderfully. He doesn’t take car rides or trips well, so having a vet come to him is a huge help.
— Peter Unger
Thank you for your continuous care for Piki. Amazing customer service and always so gentle with the cats! Very much appreciated 🙂
— Saleh Loubani
Came to my home for an examination of my old girl. Was knowledgeable, loving and caring. Was sitting on the floor with me and made sure not to stress my dog out.
Due to concerns with her, they followed up to see how she was doing.
