Ever feel pressured to agree to a treatment plan at the vet, even when you’re unsure or need time to think? You’re not failing your pet by pausing. In this clip from The Pet Parent Hotline, I share simple, respectful phrases you can use to slow the conversation down and make a thoughtful decision without sounding rude, cheap, or “difficult.” Try these: “I’m going to hold off on that today.” “Let’s pause on that for now.” “I need a little more time to process what you shared before deciding.”
