Fear Free Service

We proudly provide ​fear-free service ​to ensure that every visit is as pleasant for your pet as it is for you. We take extra steps to ensure a fear-free experience for our patients:

  • Using pheromones (​Adaptil​, ​Feliway​) in the hospital and on the medical team’s clothes to naturally calm the animals.
  • Keeping cats separate from dogs whenever appropriate, having non-slip mats on exam and treatment tables.
  • Using gentle animal restraint methods. Gentle restraint examples may include using delicious treats when doing simple procedures (checking a patient’s vitals, examining and vaccinating) so the pet doesn’t mind the procedure because they are so focused on the yummy treat! We also use conscientious and patient-focused sedation when a pet would benefit from it.
