We are proud to share that German Veterinary Clinic is the first clinic in the UAE to become a Fear Free Certified Veterinary Practice! GVC's journey towards Fear Free Certification began in 2018 when Dr. Katrin Jahn, the clinic's founder, embarked on a mission to transform the way veterinary care is delivered in the UAE. "One of the most challenging aspects of veterinary medicine is moving beyond traditional methods and embracing innovative approaches that enhance both patient and caregiver experiences," said Dr. Katrin Jahn. "Continuous improvement is a core value at GVC, and adopting Fear Free practices has allowed us to better serve our patients and their families."
