Venocare Announces CalmCollect™ Needle-Free Blood Draw System Named a Fear Free® Preferred Product

Recognition supports more comfortable blood collection by veterinary teams and advances Fear Free care protocols in everyday practice

DORAL, FL, UNITED STATES, May 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Venocare today announced that its CalmCollect™ Needle-Free blood draw system, which is a veterinary-specific application of Venocare's proprietary blood collection platform, has been designated a Fear Free^® Preferred Product, recognizing its role in supporting calmer, more comfortable blood collection experiences for veterinary patients. CalmCollect™ is part of the Venocare portfolio of patient-centric collection solutions.

The designation reinforces Venocare’s commitment to helping veterinary teams deliver more positive and consistent care experiences for animals, clients, and clinical staff. Fear Free^® is widely recognized for advancing the prevention and alleviation of fear, anxiety, and stress in pets through education, standards, and product evaluation. CalmCollect is designed to support these principles during one of the most common—and often stressful—clinical interactions: blood collection.

"CalmCollect revolutionizes veterinary care by eliminating painful needle sticks to ensure maximum patient comfort and pet owner peace of mind," said Dr. Lindsey Ganzer, DVM, Co-Founder, CEO, and Owner, North Springs Veterinary Referral Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. "By reducing animal anxiety and handling, and improving the blood collection process, CalmCollect creates a safer environment for staff while significantly boosting clinical workflow efficiency. This system is a game-changer for any practice prioritizing compassionate, Fear Free, and high-standard patient care."

In both general practice and emergency settings, blood draws can introduce variability and stress for patients and staff alike. By enabling a more controlled and consistent collection process, CalmCollect helps veterinary teams reduce escalation, improve efficiency, and support a more positive overall visit.

“This recognition from Fear Free reflects a core belief we’ve had from the beginning—that small changes in how care is delivered can have an outsized impact on the experience of both patients and providers,” said Dr. Amir Belson, Founder and CEO of Venocare. “We’re encouraged by the early feedback from clinics who have adopted CalmCollect and are seeing the difference firsthand. This helps validate that we’re addressing a real and important need across the veterinary community, and we're excited to have this available to veterinary practices across the country.”

Venocare plans to expand access to CalmCollect through targeted partnerships with veterinary hospitals, specialty centers, and Fear Free Certified Veterinary Practices across the United States.
