It all began on the streets of Toa Alta, Puerto Rico—a place where hope is as scarce as shelter for the thousands of stray dogs struggling to survive. Among them was a white American Bulldog mix, battered by hardship yet still carrying a gentle spark in his eyes. His name was Casper.

For many dogs and their owners, a trip to the veterinarian can be a source of anxiety, stress, and even fear.

With the right preparation and approach, you can help your dog feel calmer and more confident at the vet.
