What is Fear Free®?

Our mission is to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress in pets by inspiring and educating the people who care for them.

Founded by “America’s Veterinarian,” Dr. Marty Becker, his initial thought of what “Fear Free care” could look like has transformed into some of the most innovative educational programs in the history of the veterinary, pet professional, and animal welfare industries. “Fear Free” is now a technique, an approach, and even a philosophy. Fear Free aims to inspire and educate through certification programs, courses, articles, resources, podcasts, and more.
