Fear-Free Certified Veterinary Care at Murray Hill
What Does “Fear-Free” Care Mean?
At Murray Hill Pet Hospital, we are proud to be part of the Fear Free® movement, a science-based approach to veterinary care focused on reducing fear, anxiety, and stress in pets before, during, and after their visit.
Fear Free® is a nationally recognized program that was developed by veterinary behavior experts to create a more compassionate, comfortable, and positive experience for pets and the people who love them.
Our Fear-Free Commitment
As a practice with Fear Free Certified Professionals, members of our team have completed advanced training in low-stress handling and emotional wellness to help create a more positive experience for your pet. This means your pet’s visit is designed with their emotional wellbeing in mind, not just their physical health.
