Taking the "pet" out of "petrified"
Fear Free® Veterinary Certification Programs teach vet professionals how to reduce fear, anxiety & stress in pets; enhance the quality of medicine, and increase safety.
How Certification Works
As veterinary professionals, we understand the emotional demand of the veterinary field, and we know the impact that the stress and anxiety can have on our patients, our team, and our practices. Our goal: Provide veterinary professionals with the tools and knowledge to address different levels of fear, anxiety, and stress; improve client communication; and increase workplace safety.
Eight Modules
Modules are taken consecutively. Each ends with an exam which needs to successfully be completed prior to moving on to the next module. Progress on work can be saved at any time, giving participants the flexibility to self-pace throughout the program. When all eight modules have been completed, the participant will be awarded with a Fear Free certificate.
