Since more people spent time with their pets during the pandemic, animal behavior experts say they've noticed a shift in how people are caring for their companion animals.
Downing is a self-proclaimed pioneer in fear free and palliative care. She says she's worked alongside Dr. Marty Becker who leads the fear free movement. "I have one exam room, for instance, that's dedicated only to cats," Downing said."No dogs allowed. And in that cat exam room, we don't use fluorescent lights that are very bright. One of the reasons we don't is that when cats are stressed, their pupils will be a little bit dilated."She says she implements a lot into her practice to make sure the animals feel at ease.
"They've gone from the kennel to the couch and from the couch to sleeping on the end to the bed and sometimes sleeping under the covers," Downing said. In 2021, Edwards Nunes from TD Bank Healthcare Practice Solutions says vet clinics noticed a 10% to 12% increase in revenue. Nunes says the fear free vet approach comes into consideration when he evaluates business plans of loan applicants.
