Fear Free Accredited Practise in Kidderminster, Worcestershire

 At Shepherds' Vet Centre, we have been serving pets and pet owners for over 70 years. The care of your pet is, and always has been, our top priority.

Anxious Pets?

 Do you have a pet that is anxious when coming to the vets or meeting anyone/thing socially?

Do you want reassurance that your vet will be undertaking measures to ensure your (apparently) non-anxious  pet doesn't start to become anxious at the vets?

Do you have a pet that has a change in health status that needs to come to the vets more frequently and you want to minimise their stress?

Do you have a pet who isn't easy to handle at the vets due to fear/aggression/both?

Then we can help!!!

Fear Free Accreditation


As part of our commitment to helping your pets get the most out of their veterinary visits to the practice, three of the vets at Shepherds' vet practice have undertaken (or are undertaking) additional training to become fear free accredited.


 This means they have had additional training in order to: 


  • help reducing or removing anxiety triggers that can cause pets to become fearful at home, in transport, and at the vets.
  • help owners deliver calm pets to their vet practice. 
  • plan pre-visit anti anxiety medication protocols (nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals) to facilitate successful, reduced stress examination and facilitate positive experiences at the vets for these otherwise anxious patients.


All of our vets and nurses undertake regular Continued Professional Development (CPD) to ensure that the best level of service and expertise can be provided to you and your pet.

If you have a pet that you feel would benefit from interventions prior to their veterinary visit,

please mention this to our receptionists when booking your appointment as we can

definitely help you help your pet.
