Fear Free and Cat Friendly consulting and implementation
By now you may have heard of Fear Free and the Cat Friendly Practice program and the huge effects they have on reducing patient stress. When patients feel less stressed, they’re easier for staff to handle. Pet parents become more bonded to your practice, which is better for business. But between running the clinic and caring for patients, achieving Fear Free/ Cat Friendly concepts within your environment as a whole can seem overwhelming.
Whether you’re new to Fear Free/ Cat Friendly or are moving towards practice certification, I provide assistance with implementation and staff education. Every step, from small to large, produces positive change your patients will feel. Are you on board?
If you’re a veterinary, pet professional, or cat parent in the Austin area, I provide in-home and virtual cat behavior consults for feline caregivers! Find out more about My Family Cat here and follow on Instagram!
