#not happy things

So I need to take my dog to the vets tomorrow which is something I’ve mentioned before that I hate doing because it makes me have huge panic attacks (based on past experiences with other vets with past pets and not my current one, my current ones are angels in fucking disguise they’ve saved her life once already and one of my cats lives too, I swear they’re all amazing humans, they take care of her and me whenever I have to take her in) which makes her stressed out and makes the whole situation a million times worse so I was wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks to help me not get so stressed?

Like I’ve only just made the appointment and I can already feel myself having the starts of some kind of meltdown when I already had one over actually having to make the appointment, and I can’t keep doing this every time I have to take her because it’s not fair on her if she starts to associate going to the vets with me getting distressed (she really feeds off of my emotional state and either gets in a state herself or gets protective)
