After being sedated the night before and again two hours before her visits with the vet, we bring her with a van simply because it is the biggest, easiest, and safest way to transport her to the vet and then back home again. Bub rides shotgun in the back with me as Monster rides in the passenger seat at the front of the van, and once the vet’s office tells us that they have an available room for her — allowing her to bypass having to wait, and cry, in the waiting room, because leaving the house is always difficult for her no matter where we go (and we only go here with her now because of that) — we head straight on back to it. She gets taken to the back where they have a larger room to examine her, give her needed vaccines, clean her ears out, and test her for heartworm before bringing her back to us. Then we get her annual heartworm prevention, all twelve months of it in two boxes, before heading up front to pay before we get back in the van and go home.
