Fear Free® Professional & Our Approach

​

A Fear Free® Professional is a veterinary professional trained in approaches designed to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in pets during handling and veterinary care. This includes using gentle handling techniques, recognizing individual stress signals, allowing pets appropriate time and space, and using positive reinforcement whenever possible. The goal is to create a calmer, more comfortable experience while prioritizing the safety and well-being of both the pet and the veterinary professional.

​

At Vet Tech 2 U, one or more of our associates will be Fear Free® Certified or will incorporate Fear Free®-informed training and techniques into your pet’s housecall.

 

Our team strives to make each visit as low-stress and comfortable as possible by adapting our approach to the individual pet, recognizing their body language and stress signals, and using gentle handling and positive reinforcement whenever appropriate.

​

While every pet is different and not every situation can be completely stress-free, our goal is always to minimize fear, anxiety, and stress while providing safe, compassionate, and professional care in the comfort of your home.
