Sample interview questions: Can you describe any instances where you had to handle pets that required specific attention or care due to their behavior, anxiety, or stress during travel?
Sample answer:
-
Case 1: Anxious Dog: I worked with a pet owner whose dog, a Golden Retriever named Max, was highly anxious during travel. Max would pant excessively, drool, and even vomit due to stress. To help Max, I prescribed an anxiety medication approved by the veterinarian, provided a calming crate and bedding, and used a pheromone spray to help create a relaxing environment during travel. I also recommended that the owner take Max for short practice trips to help him get used to being in a crate and traveling in a vehicle.

Case 2: Aggressive Cat: I assisted a cat owner whose cat, a Siamese named Luna, became aggressive during travel. Luna would hiss, scratch, and even bite when being handled or placed in a carrier. To help Luna, I recommended the owner to consult with a veterinarian to rule out any potential medical causes of her aggression. I also suggested using a pheromone spray, providing a hiding place in the carrier, and gradually introducing Luna to the carrier before travel. It was also suggested to the owner to use positive reinforcement techniques to reward Luna for calm behavior.
