Fear Free Veterinary Visits in Coral Springs, FL
Because less stress means better care—for everyone.
At Coral Springs Animal Hospital, we believe that great veterinary medicine cares for the whole pet—not just their symptoms. That’s why our team includes Fear Free Certified and Cat Friendly Professionals who are specially trained to recognize and reduce signs of stress, anxiety, and fear in our patients.
Whether your pet is here for a routine checkup or something more serious, we’re committed to making their experience as calm, comfortable, and positive as possible.
What is Fear Free Veterinary Care?
Fear Free is a nationwide initiative that puts emotional well-being at the center of every veterinary visit. It’s about more than treats and gentle voices (though we’re big fans of both!). It involves thoughtful changes to how we handle, interact with, and even schedule your pet’s appointment.
From the way we greet your pet in the lobby to the low-stress handling techniques we use in the exam room, every part of your visit is designed to minimize fear and anxiety—for pets and people alike.

What You Can Expect
As we move into the future, our focus is clear:
-
Calm, quiet waiting areas
-
Gentle handling techniques tailored to your pet’s comfort level
-
Pre-visit planning for anxious pets (including medication options if needed)
-
Soothing pheromone diffusers and species-specific exam spaces

Our goal is simple: to help your pet feel safe, secure, and supported—so we can provide the best care possible.
Because Happy Pets Heal Better
Stress and fear don’t just make visits harder—they can actually affect your pet’s health, mask symptoms, and slow recovery. By embracing Fear Free and Cat Friendly practices, we’re able to build trust with our patients, strengthen the human-animal bond, and give your pet the high-quality, compassionate care they deserve.
If your pet dreads the vet, we’d love to change that! Let us show you what veterinary care can feel like when compassion leads the way.
