What Is Fear Free^tm Certified

Pet Care?

Fear Free^tm is a science-based approach to animal care that focuses on reducing fear, anxiety, and stress (often called FAS) in pets during every interaction.

See Our Pledge

Our Team has completed professional training through Fear Free^tm, an industry-leading program developed by veterinarians, behaviorists, and pet care experts. Our certification means we understand how to spot early signs of stress and use proven strategies to create more positive, low-stress experiences for your pets.

This includes the considerate approach - the key principle of Fear Free^tm care that emphasizes respectful handling, body language awareness, and tailoring our interactions to each pet’s comfort level. In short: Fear Free^tm means we care not just for your pets’ physical needs, but for their emotional well-being too. It's care that feels good—for them and for you.

The Fear Free^tm Principles

1. Reducing Fear, Anxiety and Stress

Pets can’t tell us when they’re overwhelmed—but they show us through subtle body language. We’re trained to spot these cues early. That might mean giving a nervous pet space and time to come to us on their terms. Calming pheromones, soft music, and high-value treats help reduce stress and create positive associations that build trust.

2. Building Trust

Trust is the foundation of Fear Free^tm care. We create a safe, respectful bond between pets, owners, and caregivers through gentle, consistent interaction. By reading body language, honoring consent, and respecting signals, we build trust without force. Pets are given choices—like approaching at their own pace or pausing if they’re uncomfortable. This approach builds confidence and leads to calmer, more positive experiences for everyone.

3. Positive Reinforcement

Fear Free^tm Certified care uses positive reinforcement—like treats, praise, and gentle handling—to build trust and make everyday care a positive experience. We reward calm, cooperative behavior and adjust our approach to each pet’s comfort level. Just as important: we never use aversive techniques. No yelling, forced restraint, or punishment—ever.
Our goal is to reduce stress, build confidence, and make care something your pet actually enjoys.

4. Individualized Focus

Every pet is unique. That’s why Fear Free^tm techniques are tailored to each animal’s personality, needs, and emotional state. What soothes one dog might stress another—so we observe closely and adjust accordingly. For some pets, that means a slow, quiet approach. For others, a cheerful hello and a favorite treat work best. We adjust tone, pace, handling, and tools—like calming pheromones or soft lighting—to meet pets exactly where they are.
This personalized care builds trust, reduces anxiety, and helps pets thrive
