About Fear Free and Low Stress Handling
Caring Hearts Animal Hospital is behavior-focused, with our team being both Fear Free℠ Certified and Sophia Yin Gold Trained in Low Stress Handling®. This means we go above and beyond to understand animal behaviors and anxiety triggers and take many proactive measures to reduce stress and fearfulness in our patients. We pride ourselves on maintaining a calm atmosphere at our practice, from the yoga mats on our exam tables to the separate exam room for cats.
Some of the low-stress techniques we utilize at our practice include:
- Helping your pets feel secure by providing support during handling to prevent them from feeling unstable.
- Approaching visibly nervous pets with slow, deliberate movements.
- Allowing your pets sufficient time to calm down before beginning any treatments or procedures.
- Employing the least amount of restraint necessary.
- Using positive reinforcement and distractions as appropriate.
