Comfort Kennels plus Products are certified "Fear Free"
Website Editor • Mar 12, 2019
Our Products were recognized by the Fear Free Program to reduce fear and stress
After an evaluation the Comfort Kennel plus product line was certified "Fear Free". From the Fear Free Website, "Fear Free is the concept of practicing veterinary medicine that involves the reduction of feelings of stress in our patients which in return will result in a better experience for all involved — including pets, owners, and the veterinary team." This concept can be applied through the facility including the housing areas. It is important to reduce fear and stress in your animals by carefully considering your enclosures and facility layout.
1. Do dogs face each other across an aisle?
2. Are cages easy to clean in order to reduce others left by previous occupants?
3. Are the enclosures warm to the touch, or "Thermo-Neutral"?
4. Can the animal exhibit their natural behaviors?
Comfort Kennels and our other products can help solve the problems these questions ask.
