We are working to become a Fear Free Practice

What is Fear Free and why do we care? New studies have shown that when a dog or cat experiences fear it is ingrained in the amygdala forever. So when that dog or cat comes into any veterinary hospital and has a bad experience, that animal will remember every time it returns to the vet. 

We feel strongly that every time your pet visits us they should enjoy that visit as much as possible. And we are working hard to make that a reality.
