Pet Cause Media and Fear Free collaborate to highlight the importance of emotional wellbeing of pets

NORTHBOROUGH, Mass. - March 15, 2019 - PRLog -- Pet Cause Media, a premier service provider that collaborates with veterinary practices to improve outcomes, is proud to announce a partnership with Fear Free™, an educational program that aims to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress in pets by inspiring and educating the people who care for them. Through this alliance, Pet Cause Media will raise awareness about Fear Free among pet parents and veterinary teams at the point of care using its Smart Outcomes™ platform.

Peter Alberti, CEO of Pet Cause Media, is excited by the opportunity. "Fear Free has quickly become an effective and widely-accepted approach for managing the experience for pets and pet parents while at the veterinary practice," he said. "Making pet parents aware of the process and celebrating the practice's commitment to go the extra mile for the pet will materially strengthen the bond between the veterinary team and their clients. This supports our strategy to stimulate better conversations between pet parents and veterinary professionals."

Founded by Dr. Marty Becker, resident veterinarian on The Dr. Oz Show and a 17-year veteran of Good Morning America, Fear Free was developed with input from a 160-member advisory group, including board-certified veterinary behaviorists, well-known veterinary practice management experts, and other leaders in the field. Since launching in 2016, more than 43,000 professionals have enrolled in the Fear Free program, and more than 32,000 have been certified.

"Focusing on a pet's wellbeing is everyone's job," Dr. Becker said. The collaboration with Pet Cause Media will help pet parents learn more about Fear Free and reinforce the mission for veterinary staff."
