Fear Free and Feline-Focused Consulting and Implementation
Feline-focused consulting for your veterinary or pet business.
As a veterinarian with over 15 years of experience in general practice, I bring my years of knowledge as a feline subject matter expert to companies such as Business Insider and Knead. I’ve also been featured as a pet subject matter expert in the New York Times. Compassion and creativity are some of my core values as a cat consultant, and love collaborating with other professionals, particularly when it comes to working with cat loving startups. Contact me here about your cat business or veterinary subject matter needs!

Fear Free and Cat Friendly clinic 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?
