"With Dr. Stewart's intimate experience across most aspects of veterinary medicine, he was a logical choice to represent Fear Free for various audiences," Dr. Marty Becker, founder of Fear Free, said.

Dr. Stewart is the rare combo of both fitting in and standing out."

"As someone who has always ensured that the animals I care for have a positive and stress-free interaction, I'm thrilled to join the Fear Free team," Dr. Stewart said. "I hope to be a bridge between my work in the streets and the professional care we deliver to our pets in a clinical setting, so pets always receive the emotional support they deserve."
