Michael Snedeker is an accomplished real estate and business development professional based in the Boston area. The executive vice president at Elite Building Corp in Lynnfield, Michael Snedeker supports the humane treatment of animals through annual donations to the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA).
The MSPCA, which works in partnership with Angell Animal Medical Center, maintains a training program that teaches staff to calm pets experiencing fear and stress in the medical environment. Many members of the veterinary care staff at Angell have completed this training to become “Fear Free Certified” professionals.
The training includes nine hours of classroom study on calming anxious animals through a variety of methods, including alternative therapies such as pheromone diffusers, behavior management products such as compression garments, and pharmaceuticals. Participants also learn gentle ways to handle and control animals during veterinary procedures.
