In a significant advancement for animal welfare, Darwin has introduced its first veterinary clinic devoted exclusively to stress-free handling techniques. Girraween Veterinary Hospital, under the leadership of Dr. Sue Callow, is pioneering this compassionate approach to pet care, ensuring that both physical and emotional well-being are prioritised during veterinary visits.
Traditional veterinary practices often overlooked the signs of stress in animals, leading to increased anxiety and resistance during examinations.

Recognising this gap, Girraween Veterinary Hospital has implemented specialised handling methods and extended consultation times, allowing pets to acclimate comfortably to the clinical environment.
"By respecting and addressing the stress signals in our pets, we've observed remarkable improvements in their tolerance and overall health outcomes," says Dr. Callow.
"Simple strategies, such as creating a calming atmosphere and gentle handling, have significantly reduced the need for practices like muzzling, which were once common."
The benefits of stress-free handling are evident:
✔️ Enhanced Patient Compliance: Pets are more cooperative during examinations and treatments, facilitating thorough and effective care.
✔️ Improved Health Outcomes: Reduced stress levels contribute to better recovery rates and overall well-being.
✔️ Positive Veterinary Visits: Owners report that their pets are more relaxed and even eager to visit the vet, transforming the veterinary experience into a positive one.
Girraween Veterinary Hospital's commitment to this innovative approach sets a new standard for veterinary care in Darwin. By focusing on the emotional health of pets, the clinic ensures a holistic treatment experience that benefits both animals and their owners.
