No more scaredy cats! Local animal hospital embraces "fear free" approach: Ready Pet GO!

"Fear Free was founded by Dr. Marty Becker in 2016 with the single mission of alleviating the fear and anxiety and stress in pets by inspiring and educating people who care for them."

Dr. Kelly Cairns is a veterinarian, who is also Vice President of Medical Excellence and Education at Thrive Pet Healthcare. Lyndhurst Animal Clinic is part of the Thrive network.
