At Main St Animal Services, we take pride in our fear free approach to keep your pet as emotionally and physically comfortable as possible. We have 2 practitioners who are Fear Free Certified. In the process of having our practitioners certified, we realized that many of the fear free techniques that they were taught were techniques that we were already practicing.
How do we help your pet feel more comfortable?

As you can see, a fear free veterinary professional uses a multimodal, often natural approach to keep the emotional and physical well-being of their patients in mind. Our practitioners can recognize the subtle signs of fear, anxiety and stress and are able to alter their own behaviors or personal cues to accommodate your pet. They can even give holistic therapies or supplements to support their comfort. Additionally, if your pet shows signs of fear, anxiety and stress in other aspects of their lives, they can make healthy recommendations of herbs and supplements to use at home to help your pets in their day-to-day activities.
We recognize that your pet is an important member of your family and our caring, compassionate team is focused on optimizing your pet’s health. From well visits to chronic disease, we assess the whole pet so we can offer therapies that respect the integrity of your pet’s mind, body, and spirit.
