What is Fear Free?

Fear Free Certification is a program designed to minimize fear, anxiety, and stress (FAS) in animals throughout the veterinary experience. Dr. Durtschi uses gentle handling techniques, calming environments, and positive reinforcement to create a more comfortable and less stressful atmosphere for pets. The certification process encompasses extensive training and education. Fear Free methods benefit pet owners by making vet visits easier, improving the overall wellbeing of their animals, and fostering a stronger bond between pet and veterinarian.
