Fear Free Certified Vets
There’s a burgeoning movement in veterinary medicine—one that acknowledges the importance of a pet’s emotional experience during their visit. A movement that links their experience to the level of care they are able to receive. One that fundamentally reshapes how teams approach training, readiness, and interactions with dogs and cats.
Creating a Fear Free Experience for Every Pet
At River Run Animal Hospital, our team takes the Fear Free approach seriously. While our hospital itself is not Fear Free Certified, many of our doctors and staff have earned individual Fear Free certifications. This means they are trained to recognize signs of stress and anxiety and to use gentle handling techniques that help pets feel safe and calm during their visit. It’s all part of our commitment to providing compassionate care—for every pet, every time.
