Doc·Side is Fear Free® Certified
We now understand so much more about our pets' emotional well-being, and the impact on your pet's health and happiness from stress, anxiety, and fear before, during, and after their visit to the vet.
Our team has been certified in the latest Fear Free® methods to reduce anxiety in your pet. They will work with you to identify the techniques that work best for your pet, such as gentle control, positive conditioning, naturopathic remedies, Feliway pheromone spray and pheromone diffusers, Adaptil sprays and collars, and Thundershirts.
