About

Fear Free Veterinary Visits

Drs. Amy & Jenni Smagala, as well as several staff members, are Fear Free Certified Professionals. This means we have gone through additional training to learn techniques to help with the reduction of fear, anxiety, and stress in your pets.

​​​​​​​Our goal is to find what works best for your pet. We know the impact that stress and anxiety can have on our patients and our goal is to minimize that at every vet visit, which will improve the experience for not only them but for their humans as well.

​​​​​​​We use positive reinforcement, treats and even calming colors to ensure Twin Tails Veterinary Hospital is a Fear Free Environment. We often use oral medications to help decrease anxiety before vet visits as well. Be sure to let us know when you are scheduling your appointment if your pet has any fears or history of stressful vet visits that we need to be aware of and we can come up with a plan together.
