Fear Free and AHP®

What is Fear Free?

Fear Free℠ is an initiative that promotes methods and protocols that lead to the reduction or removal of anxiety triggers, which creates an experience that is rewarding and safer for all involved including pets, their owners, and veterinary health care teams. The end result? Calmer, more accepting patients, more compliant clients and better veterinary care.

How is Fear Free connected with Virox^® Animal Health?

The patented technology behind our revolutionary disinfectants is Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide^® (AHP^®). AHP^® is unique in its ability to kill deadly pathogens in half the time of legacy or traditional disinfectants, helping to keep patients safer during a veterinary visit. But it's not just the killing power of AHP^® that makes it the perfect fit for Fear Free℠, it's also gentle on patients, users, the environment, and is much safer for pets. AHP^® has no odour, no artificial fragrances or harsh chemical odors, that can trigger stress and anxiety in a pet during a veterinary visit, helping to create the ideal environment for both patients and clients. It's these benefits that make AHP^® the Deliberately Different™ choice for infection control and biosecurity in your veterinary practice.
