We're Fear Free Certified Professionals

We put an emphasis on patients’ emotional wellbeing and strive to make visits as enjoyable as possible. Our team members are ​Fear Free Certified, which is an initiative to teach not only veterinary professionals but also pet parents how to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety and stress in pets.
Fear Free techniques we use include:
  • Low-stress handling to help reduce feelings of lost control or being trapped
  • Positive reinforcement
  • Food motivation with treats to reward pets
  • Cat-only and dog-only exam rooms
  • Use of pheromone sprays to encourage a sense of calm
  • Couches and comfortable furniture instead of metal exam tables
