What it means to be Fear Free

As a pet professional, I see a lot of animals with varying degrees of fear, anxiety, and stress. These are cats and dogs who have negative associations with certain events and things in their environment. In earning a Fear Free certification, I have developed a better understanding of what I can do to support the pets that I work with. Our pets are members of our family and their wellbeing is a priority to me.

The mission of Fear Free is to alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress in pets and educate and inspire the people that care for them. The difference of taking a more compassionate approach is life changing for both people and pets. We can reverse the impact of those negative memories by creating positive experiences. This is ultimately making our pets lives far happier.
