Experience Less Stress at Our Fear Free Certified Practice
At Beaver Brook Animal Hospital, we are proud to be New England's first practice to become Fear Free Certified. Being Fear Free means our entire practice is designed to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in pets. While the main benefit is for our patients’ health and well-being, it also helps you to relax, knowing your pet is no longer stressed, and it helps us to perform any exams or procedures more easily and effectively.
How We Reduce Fear, Anxiety, & Stress for Pets
Every member of our staff is a Fear Free Certified Professional who can readily recognize the signs of stress in your pet. However, our goal is to prevent your pet from being stressed at all! We know that every cat and dog is unique, so we’ll apply different techniques to each of our patients in order to ensure a stress-free experience for them. Some of the techniques we use to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress include:
Options for Overly Stressed Pets
Despite all our efforts, some cats and dogs are overly stressed at veterinary visits and may require a little extra help calming down. For these pets, our veterinarians can recommend either a natural product to reduce anxiety or for pets with higher anxiety, we can recommend anti-anxiety medications.
Our goal is to create a fear free experience for every pet. Talk to us today to learn more about our Fear Free Certified Practice and ways you can help reduce your pet’s anxiety around veterinary visits!
