Are you interested in providing veterinary care for a shelter? Perhaps your practice already does and you’d like to know more about veterinary practice in this context. Or maybe you’d like to understand the veterinary care that has been provided to the recently adopted animals you see.
In this introductory webinar, find out more about the subject of shelter medicine and learn how and why to apply your small animal knowledge to multi-animal groups and rehoming settings.
Why do this course?
When animals usually kept individually as household pets are managed as a group, the factors influencing our veterinary decision-making change. This webinar introduces shelter medicine and how it varies from small animal primary care for our household companion animals.
