KeraVet Bio to sponsor Fear Free dinner presentation
By Michelle Barson, KeraVet Bio Staff
KeraVet Bio is excited to announce our first Fear Free sponsorship. The sponsored event will take place on June 22 in Chicago and is a dinner presentation featuring KeraVet Bio Advisor, Dr. Natalie Marks. Dr. Marks will be presenting to practice owners, managers and medical directors to on how to create a better workplace culture through Fear Free practices.
Attendees will also hear a brief presentation on the innovative, new product KeraVet Gel and the value it brings to creating a Fear Free culture for staff, clients and patients. There will be an opportunity to receive pre-launch samples (for licensed veterinarians only) there as well.
The goal of this event is to encourage these veterinary professionals to consider becoming Fear Free certified. Fear Free certification can help to:
-
- Reduce or remove triggers that can cause pets to become fearful at home, in transport & at the vet
- Enhance the quality of medicine in practice & increase compliance
- Help owners deliver calm pets to the hospital & improve safety for the veterinary team

Natalie Marks finds the ideal combination of teaching/mentoring and improving the emotional health of pets in the Fear Free movement. She sat on the Fear Free Executive Council and is a national educator helping other private practitioners develop these techniques. She also led her practice to become the 7th nationally and first practice in Illinois to become a Fear Free Certified Hospital. She is an Elite Fear Free Certified Professional.
KeraVet Gel was recently approved as a Fear Free Preferred Product and we officially begin our partnership with Fear Free this August. The Fear Free Preferred Product Program (PPP) is designed to provide Fear Free Certified Professionals access to products and services that are aligned with Fear Free protocols, procedures, and recommendations. As Fear Free Certified Professionals implement Fear Free in their workplace, gaining access to certified Fear Free products and services will facilitate and speed up that process. The Fear Free Preferred Product Program is reviewed and evaluated on an ongoing basis to ensure that the products and solutions selected continue to meet the needs of our Fear Free community.
