That may usually be the case with children, but not pets. We loved having the owner in the room, it always calmed the pet down, unless, as I stated the owner was an over-reactor. Animals take their cue from the owners usually. When you take an animal out of the room, not only does the pet feel unprotected, it feels it's owner is unprotected. But, of course, there are times it is necessary. However, you would be amazed, AMAZED, at the amount of vets that really don't know how to draw blood.
Julies, sounds like you found a great one.
