Case Study: Pooka the Cat

When Pooka first started going to see Dr. Bloom for routine check ups, she was never huge a fan of the experience, but it was “relatively” manageable. She was extraordinary well behaved at home, but veterinary visits just weren’t her thing—a scenario that is all too familiar for the veterinary profession. However, her behavior at the vet quickly escalated after a devastating cancer diagnosis required more intensive treatments. In fact, her behavior became so much of a problem that treatment was literally becoming impossible during a time when Pooka’s life depended on it. Thankfully, Dr. Bloom was in the midst of adopting something that would turn out to be transformative for not only him and the rest of the veterinary industry, but for Pooka as well: Fear Free. In this podcast, we talk with both Pooka’s owner, Howie Nisenbaum, and Dr. Bloom about Pooka’s inspiring journey through treatment.

The Role of Technicians in Fear Free

It can often be said that technicians are the backbone of the veterinary clinic. They spend their days (and nights) in the trenches and see little of the glamour of veterinary medicine – if there is such a thing. With Fear Free certifications blossoming around the country (and world), it’s important to understand how technicians play a role in the Fear Free process. In this podcast, hear firsthand from two leading Fear Free certified technicians, Emily Korber and Tabitha Sias Kucera, talk about the role technicians play in Fear Free.

Case Study: How Dakota Went From Fearful to Fear Free

In only months since launching, Fear Free certifications have been growing tremendously. As of this recording, more than 700 veterinary professionals have become certified and more than 3,200 have registered and are in the process of becoming certified. But it’s not just about the numbers. Fear Free is about looking out for our best friends, and nobody appreciates that more than their owners. In this podcast, through the lens of a client named Alex Patinios (our first featured client on a podcast ever) and his dog Dakota’s experience with Dr. Bloom, we get to hear what Fear Free means from a client’s perspective. This is a powerful case study that shows just how impactful Fear Free can be for the people and animals that the veterinary industry is dedicated to serving.

Fear Free Scheduling

When it comes to creating a successful Fear Free visit, scheduling can be a very important factor. In this podcast, we cover everything from what and how you communicate to a client prior to the visit, how you keep track of their emotional health and history in the emotional record, and what to do if a stressed out patient needs to reschedule.

Fear, Anxiety, and Stress (FAS) Scale

Because it is critically important to rate an animal’s level of FAS, Fear Free created this FAS scale for certified professionals. This scale will give you the opportunity to be consistent in assessing and recording every animal’s FAS level, and it will give you recommendations on how to proceed. Page two of the scale is your tool to record details on each animal.

Print out the scale, laminate it, and hang it on the wall. The second page goes into each patient’s medical record. Scales are available for dogs, cats, horses, and birds.
