“Veterinary medicine is constantly in the realm of change. Science moves forward every day, but our interpersonal skills are less advanced. Utilizing Fear Free techniques, we can advance our own practices and the way we serve our communities. This is not a standalone commodity, but rather, one that complements our medical practice. Better medicine provides us with an opportunity to improve on our daily service to our clients and the pets we provide comfort to.”
—Stephen J. Ettinger, DVM, DACVIM (SAIM, Cardiology)
 
“This book is full of practical and sensible advice that can be implemented right away. After putting several of these tips into practice, veterinary practices will see immediate improvement in patient welfare and client satisfaction.”
—Kenneth M. Martin, DVM, DACVB
