Is your shelter fully leveraging the veterinary care capabilities of your entire team? When it comes to veterinary care in animal shelters, it’s crucial to make sure the right person does the right job—and the right person doesn’t always have to be a DVM or RVT!

If you’ve ever wondered:
• Can vaccines be administered during hold periods?
• Who can give a Rabies vaccine, and under what type of supervision?
• What if we don’t have a veterinarian on site – can we use standing protocols?
• Is microchipping or administering snap tests the practice of veterinary medicine?

This webinar is for you! Join Bruce Wagman, Lead Counsel for San Francisco SPCA’s Shelter Policy and Legal Services (Shelter PALS), to maximize your shelter’s options for providing veterinary care while adhering to law and practice act requirements. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of which shelter tasks team members can perform, from intake-related care and running diagnostics to providing treatment, surgery, euthanasia, public veterinary services and emergency care.
