Founded by Dr. Marty Becker and developed by hundreds of experts in behavior, medicine, and handling, Fear Free provides online education to veterinary professionals, pet professionals, animal welfare communities, and pet owners.
By closely listening to the needs of the profession and those of the new generation of pet owners, Fear Free has become one of the single most transformative initiatives in the history of companion animal practice, providing unparalleled education on emotional wellbeing, enrichment, and the reduction of fear, anxiety, and stress in pets and improving the experience of every human and pet involved.
Individual certification is the first step for any veterinary professional interested in implementing Fear Free principles in practice. All of the veterinary certification programs are designed for all individuals employed at a practice from veterinarians and veterinary nurses/technicians to customer service representatives and practice managers. The certification programs are seen as the foundation for Fear Free and designed to give individuals the knowledge and tools required to start implementing Fear Free in their workplace.

- Reduce or remove anxiety triggers that can cause pets to become fearful at home, in transport & at the veterinary hospital
