Because every pet deserves a life without fear, anxiety, and stress — Paoli Vetcare is Fear Free® Certified!
Developed by “America’s Veterinarian,” Dr. Marty Becker, the Fear Free initiative aims to “take the ‘pet’ out of ‘petrified’” and get pets back for veterinary visits by promoting a considerate approach and gentle control techniques used in calming environments.
Fear Free methods and protocols lead to the reduction or removal of anxiety triggers, which creates an experience that is rewarding and safer for all involved, including pets, their owners, and veterinary health care teams.
The end result? Calmer, more accepting patients, more compliant clients, and better veterinary care.
Nancy Hawkins — “Loved the atmosphere and the staff and the Vet were so nice. And Zeus, my kitty baby, stayed chilled t/o the visit.”
Rebecca Winchester — “By far, this is the best vet in the area. No off the wall treatments and straight forward advice from vets who are pet guardians themselves and treat yours like theirs. They meet the highest standards that I have set for pet care.”
Nina B. — “Everyone that works at this practice is so incredibly nice. A coworker recommended this place when I moved back to the area. My dog had a cyst a week before boarding and they made such a fuss about him and gave him lots of treats. When I went to pay, I was told the first visit was free. I’m boarding him next weekend and when I was given the total, I thought that was each night but it was for 3 days. I have no anxiety about leaving my dog there. I know he’s in great hands. He probably won’t want to come home with me.”
Barbare Bagge — “If you’re looking for The Gold Standard in vet care, choose Dr. Jay Rowan and Dr. Erin Downes at Paoli Vetcare. Seriously — expert, professional, compassionate, straight-talking practice. ”
Joseph Smith — “As I seem to creep closer and closer to my ARP years, shhhhh, my family and I have been blessed with a lifetime of unconditional LOVE & Companionship from what some refer to as our Dog or to us The Smith’s, “Bo”; however, to us and so many of you know our journey of this thing called life would be incomplete without our faithful companions at our side ❤️. OK OK, my point to all this is that these words could only come from a family completely confident our “Bo” is in the best LOVE & Care available with Paoli Vetcare. From experience, this reference comes during our most difficult days as “Bo” fights off cancer one day at a time to LOVE us. Yes, I am crying, I cry a lot these days; although if you are searching for the most loving, caring, and understanding care for your family member look no further than Dr. Rowan and his incredible team. They are the quiet Angels when you desperately need them.”
