I wonder if dogs naturally get scared at the vet even as pups because with their heightened sense of smell they detect the warnings from other dogs who have been there? amirite?

My dogs have never minded going to the vet. Hey, car ride!

Our guy loved the vet. Then he got an anal abscess, he no longer liked the vet.

Maybe not smell specifically but they learn from the stress indicators of the other dogs that are there for sure. Humans can often be stressed there also for numerous reasons so they pick up on all of it. It is supposed to help to do practice visits where they have good experiences and just get a treat or something and then leave.
