CLIFTON PARK, N.Y., Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Imagine if you and your pet looked forward to visiting your vet, instead of dreading it. At Cornerstone Veterinary Hospital of Clifton Park, imagining won't be necessary since the practice recently earned Fear Free Practice Certification. Fear Free® is an impactful initiative designed to ease the fear, anxiety, and stress many pets experience when they visit their veterinarian.
Fear Free Practice Certification takes Fear Free implementation from an individual effort to a joint effort, with all team members of a practice working together to improve and preserve the emotional well-being of their patients, clients, and each other.
"I am so proud of our team for their dedication to providing a Fear Free experience to our clients and patients," said Dr. Lisa Knott, co-owner of Cornerstone Veterinary Hospital of Clifton Park. "Fear Free has allowed us to continue to provide the highest quality medical and surgical care to our patients in a way that will also alleviate their fear, anxiety, and stress. This program has truly been life-changing for our clients, patients, and team members."
Fear Free® was founded in 2016 by Dr. Marty Becker. Since then, hundreds of veterinary experts in medicine, behavior, and handling have developed the program into the tremendous success it is today. Fear Free® provides online and in-person education for veterinary professionals, pet owners, pet professionals, and animal shelter staff and volunteers, giving them the knowledge and tools needed to properly care for a pet's physical and emotional well-being.
"Providing veterinarians with the tools they need to ease this burden of fear and anxiety for our patients is the pinnacle of my decades-long veterinary career," said Dr. Becker, who was dubbed "America's Veterinarian" by Dr. Oz and appeared on Good Morning America for 17 years. "Veterinary professionals are hungry for this information. Animals and their humans need and deserve it."
