Fear Free
What Does Being 'Fear Free Certified' Mean?
The Fear Free Veterinary Certification Program teaches veterinary healthcare professionals how to eliminate fear, anxiety, and stress for happier patients, stronger client relationships, and safer veterinary healthcare teams. The staff at Heartland Veterinary Clinic has gone through the certification process so not only is our team knowledgeable about Fear Free protocols, but our clinic is in the process of going through new renovations to help pets be more comfortable here with us as well! ​​​​​​​
​
At Heartland, our mission is to provide exceptional veterinary care that prioritizes the physical and emotional well-being of every pet. We are committed to creating a Fear Free environment where pets feel safe, calm, and cared for. Our dedicated team of professionals is trained to recognize and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress (FAS) in our patients, ensuring a positive experience for both pets and their owners. We strive to educate and empower pet owners and foster a compassionate relationship between the clinic, patients, and their owners.
