Veterinary professionals who are Fear Free certified will be able to better monitor their patient’s health virtually with Maven Pet’s services. Maven Pet, a pet wellness brand that utilizes artificial intelligence to offer pet health monitoring, is partnering with Fear Free—an organization focused on alleviating fear and anxiety in pets by providing certified veterinary care and implementing pet-friendly practices, according to a news release by Maven Pet.¹

Maven Pet can collect and monitor pet data while flagging irregularities. Meanwhile, Fear Free, which was developed by specialists in behavior, medicine, and handing, provides virtual and in-person tools and education to veterinary professionals and the pet care community that will help them care for pets’ physical and emotional wellbeing.

With the new collaboration, Maven Pet will be included in the Fear Free Preferred Product Program (PPP), which aims to offer Fear Free Certified Professionals access to products and services that support Fear Free’s protocols, procedures, and recommendations.² Current products and services included in the PPP are targeted pulsed electromagnetic field therapy products, hospital mats, pet kennels and beds, and more. These products and services will facilitate the process of implementing Fear Free in their practice, according to Fear Free.²

Through its new contribution to Fear Free’s program, those who are Fear Free Certified will have access to Maven Pet’s services, which will help veterinary professionals get earlier patient diagnoses with the company’s remote monitoring, as well as improve their ability to offer “proactive care without causing the animals any unnecessary stress or trauma,” according to Maven Pet.¹ These professionals will be able to monitor their patient’s activity, rest, respiratory rate, water intake, scratching and more. “This approach leads to earlier diagnoses, more effective treatment strategies and better outcomes,” wrote Maven Pet in the release.¹

“We are thrilled to join forces with Fear Free and become part of a network dedicated to making pet care more comfortable and less stressful,” Guilherme Coelho, CEO of Maven Pet, said in a company release.¹ “We completely align with Fear Free's vision for a future where pets lead healthier and happier lives, and hope to empower pet parents and veterinarians alike with the tools to make it happen.”

The new collaboration with Fear Free will also benefit pet owners, as Maven Pet’s technology will be able to help them track their pet’s health status without having to worry about creating a stressful and negative experience for their pet, according to Maven Pet.
