What is Fear Free^®?

Fear Free^®veterinary care places an emphasis on the emotional well-being of your pet. By decreasing environmental stressors and observing the body language of your pet, we can minimize the anxiety and fear your pet experiences. When necessary, we will sedate fearful animals to eliminate unnecessary suffering and stress associated with necessary examinations and/or procedures.

Your Pet is Safe with Us

We are committed to providing the highest standard of veterinary care, and we believe that minimizing the fear, anxiety, and stress your pet experiences is critical in obtaining this goal.
Our goal is to make all of our interactions with your pet at our clinic positive experiences! We reduce the need to physically restrain your pet by using treats during our exams. This helps create a positive association with our touch and handling. 

The Benefits of Fear Free^® Care

The methods we employ ultimately help to promote a stronger bond with your pet, resulting in better care and happier pets. Routine pet care, like nail trims for example, should not cause fear and anxiety in our pets or frustration in our owners.
