We know that a visit that allows the pets to be less anxious is better for everyone involved and ultimately means the pets get better care.
DENVER (PRWEB)
January 18, 2022
Pets at a growing group of veterinary practices in the Northeast will soon benefit from less fear, anxiety, and stress, thanks to a collaboration between Vet’s Best Friend and Fear Free, LLC.
Since 2016, Fear Free has provided online and in-person education to more than 110,000 veterinary and pet professionals. By closely listening to the needs of the veterinary profession, Fear Free has built a robust catalog of certification programs and courses that focus on the emotional wellbeing, enrichment, and the reduction of fear, anxiety, and stress in pets. Both individuals and veterinary practices can become Fear Free Certified.
“We get into veterinary medicine to help animals,” Fear Free Founder and Chief Professional Relations Officer Dr. Marty Becker said. “Help isn’t limited to treating accidents or illnesses or preventing disease. We must match up with the professional oath we take to prevent or relieve animal pain and suffering. Fear Free is the verb that helps achieve optimal physical and emotional wellbeing of pets.”
As a company that builds veterinary hospitals and purchases independently owned practices from owners seeking relief from the stress of running their business, Vet’s Best Friend has committed to offer and champion Fear Free certification at its hospitals in 10 states.
“We all joined this profession to improve pets’ lives,” Vet’s Best Friend Chief Veterinary Officer Dr. Cheryl Brocki said. “Fear Free has become an important tool we can utilize to educate our teams and pet parents about normal and abnormal behaviors. We know that a visit that allows the pets to be less anxious is better for everyone involved and ultimately means the pets get better care.”
