“Making Fear Free Happy Homes resources free to pet owners will offer better access to the program,” said veterinarian Dr. Marty Becker, founder of Fear Free. “As veterinarians or pet professionals, we might see pets a few times a year, but their pet parents see them every day. Sharing simple, science-based approaches to helping pets have happier lives is core to our mission, and this change will remove barriers and ease stress for both pets and their humans.”
Since 2016, Fear Free has provided online and in-person education to more than 50,000 veterinary and pet professionals on emotional well being, enrichment, and the reduction of fear, anxiety, and stress in pets. Both individual professionals and veterinary practices can become Fear Free Certified®.
FearFreeHappyHomes.com, the companion website for pet owners, was launched in 2017.
