What is Fear Free?

Founded upon the mission of preventing and alleviating fear, anxiety, and stress in pets, Fear Free^® provides online education to veterinary professionals, pet professionals, animal welfare communities, and pet owners. Our programs equip professionals and pet lovers with the knowledge and tools to look after both a pet’s physical and emotional wellbeing. We know we must feed the pet’s mind as well as the body, so we make sure that in-home enrichment and Fear Free training are front-and-center with professionals and pet owners alike.

Why We’re Different

We get you. Like you, we love pets like family and want what is best for them. And while there’s a lot of false (and harmful!) pet education on the internet, you won’t find that here. It’s our promise.
