Low Stress Handling

A set of veterinary techniques designed to minimize patient fear, anxiety, and stress during examinations and procedures. Developed as Low Stress Handling by Sophia Yin, DVM.

Key Facts

  • Non-slip mats provide warmth and traction on exam tables
  • Topical lidocaine can be applied before needle procedures
  • Allow cats to remain in sternal position (most comfortable)
  • Avoid excessive restraint — resistance increases with force
  • Offer favorite treats before, during, and after procedures
  • Classical music can help minimize stressful hospital sounds
  • Prepare all supplies before starting to minimize wait times
  • Continuously assess body language throughout procedures
  • Avoid looming over or staring at cats
  • Communication between handler and technician is critical
