A Fear Free visit starts before you even walk in the building. Our receptionist will guide you on how to best bring your pet here if you have concerns or need help. In our lobby, we have different waiting areas for dogs and cats. If a dog is really excited, we can immediately place them in an exam room to avoid a stressful situation. Once in the exam room, our doctors and technicians are trained to decrease fear for your pet, using techniques such as giving treats or using different handling methods to get the samples and testing that we need.
