About Fear Free

Founded by Dr. Marty Becker, Fear Free® was developed by hundreds of experts in behavior, medicine, and handling. Fear Free® provides education to veterinary professionals, the pet professional community, animal shelter staff and volunteers, and pet owners. The goal is to equip everyone with the knowledge and tools to look after a pet’s physical and emotional wellbeing.

“Providing pet professionals with the tools they need to ease this burden of fear and anxiety for pets is the pinnacle of my decades-long veterinary career,” said Dr. Becker, a familiar face from Good Morning America. “Pet professionals are hungry for this information. Animals and their humans need and deserve it.”
