The #1 reason that pet owners don’t take pets to the vet is because of stress to the pet. With Fear Free Veterinary Visits, “We Take the Pet Out of Petrified.”
Better for your pet, better for you: How Fear Free is changing veterinary visits. For many pets and their owners, going to the veterinarian can cause feelings of fear, anxiety and stress (FAS).
