🎉 We’re officially Fear Free Certified again! 🎉
The team at Animal Medical Center of Marquette is proud to announce that our entire hospital has been re-certified as a Fear Free Veterinary Practice!
So what does Fear Free actually mean?
🐾 Fear Free is a movement in veterinary medicine focused on reducing fear, anxiety, and stress in pets during veterinary visits.
Our goal is simple: we want your pet to feel as safe, comfortable, and calm as possible every step of the way.
What Fear Free looks like at AMC
• Gentle handling and low-stress restraint techniques
• Treats, toys, and positive reinforcement during visits
• Calm exam rooms and soothing pheromones
• Reading your pet’s body language and moving at their pace
• Pre-visit medications when needed to reduce anxiety
• Training our team every year on the newest low-stress techniques
Why this matters ❤️
Veterinary visits can be scary for pets. When fear and stress are reduced:
• Pets have better health outcomes
• Exams are more thorough and accurate
• Visits become more positive over time
• Pet parents feel less stress too!
We believe veterinary care should never be frightening — it should be a positive, supportive experience for both you and your pet.
Thank you for trusting us to care for your furry family members. We’re so proud to continue providing compassionate, Fear Free care for our community! 🐶🐱
