Fear Free Certified Practice

Did you know that Victor Vet Care is the first Veterinary practice in New York State to become certified as a Fear Free Practice. To achieve this level we had to go through a rigorous qualification process and pass an inspection done by a nationally qualified inspector. We were happy to do the work and I am proud to say that we passed the inspection with flying colors! We are committed to continually implementing and maintaining the high standards that come with being a Fear Free Certified Practice.

Practicing Fear Free means using lots of rewards and many additional techniques to help your pet feel comfortable from the minute they step into the building. We use gentle handling techniques, soft music and pheromone therapy to calm frazzled nerves. Our goal is to have patients that love coming in to see us. We know that can’t always happen but at least we can help them begin to erase bad memories from other less friendly practices. Sometimes pets are so fearful they need medication to calm down and begin to make new friendlier memories. If that is the case we will discuss the best way start down a path to decreasing anxiety for your pet.

At Victor Vet Care we love what we do, and we look forward to making every visit “Fear Free”.
