When your pet is fearful it affects them physically as well as mentally. Their ability to learn is reduced, and the associations they form around their experience can range from negative to traumatic.

Fear Free certified professionals are trained to move at your pet’s pace, keeping things slower and quieter. When we keep associations with vet care and/or training positive and calm, our pets are better able to engage with normal cues and responses. This ensures that whether we’re diagnosing and treating a medical condition or addressing behavioural concerns, our approach is based on the most accurate information.

Dr Louise holds the highest level of Fear Free certification and applies these principles in all consultations.
