Episode 10 – To Fear or Not to Fear

In this month’s episode, Kimberly Shaffer will discuss less fearful handling approaches and techniques for your pet patients.

Several years ago, there was a giant movement to take a different approach to handling techniques, and to this day, we still debate whether it is the right thing to do, or if we have the time to incorporate those changes. Join Kim Shaffer as she shares her experience and discusses different approaches to low-stress handling of patients and how they can change your team’s and patients’ mental well-being.
