Fear Free Appointments
Welcome: We're excited to share our Fear-Free phiolsophy with you!
We understand that a visit to the vet can be a stressful experience for your pets, and when they're stressed, we know you are too. That's why we're proud of our Fear Free approach to appointments, a revolutionary approach designed to make veterinary visits more enjoyable and less stressful for your furry family members—and for you.
​
Your furry family members are our top priority: and one of the ways we show that is through our commitment to Fear Free appointments.
Here's why choosing to bring your pets to us for Fear Free appointments at our clinic is a decision you'll feel good about:
​
Stress-Free Visits for Happier Pets
Our Fear Free approach focuses on reducing the fear, anxiety, and stress (FAS) that pets often feel during a vet visit. We use gentle handling techniques, create a calming environment, and employ strategies like pheromone diffusers and soothing music to make our clinic a peaceful place for your pet. This means a more pleasant experience for them and peace of mind for you.
​
As time goes on, often the anxiety our pets initially felt subsides. Once they start to associate the vet with a positive experience, their "vet stress" lowers and, eventually, we can reduce or forego the use of Pre-Visit Pharmaceuticals (PVPs).
​
Building Positive Experiences
We aim to make every visit a positive one for your pet. By minimizing their stress and fear, we help foster a positive association with our clinic. This not only makes future visits smoother but also strengthens the bond you share with your pet, as they trust you to keep them safe and comfortable.
​
A Partnership in Care
At our clinic, we view pet care as a partnership between you, your pet, and our veterinary team. We'll provide you with tips and techniques to prepare your pet for their visit, reducing their anxiety before they even walk through our door. Your involvement is key to a Fear Free experience, and together, we can ensure the best care for your pet.
​
Enhanced Safety and Care
Fear Free appointments are not just about comfort: they're about safety and quality of care. Pets that are calm and relaxed allow for more accurate examinations and treatments. This approach also protects your pet, our staff, and ensures a safer environment for everyone.
​
Why Choose Us?
Choosing our Fear Free clinic means choosing a team that's committed to the emotional and physical well-being of your pets. We believe in treating your pets as we would our own, with patience, compassion, and expertise. Our goal is to ensure that every visit is as stress-free as possible, enhancing the health and happiness of your pet.
