SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/19/25 - Improving Access to Care: Financial Triage in Veterinary Medicine - HSVMA
DESCRIPTION:One of the most common and distressing barriers to veterinary care for both clients and veterinary teams is finances. When confronted with client financial constraints many practices are forced to provide care at no charge\, heavily discount their services or even turn pets away. There is a better way! Join this webinar to learn about practical tools and sustainable solution-oriented financial resources that can be easily implemented by veterinary teams. Help clients say “yes” to your recommended treatment plans and free yourself to work on what matters most: your patient. Register now! \nLearning objectives \n\nAttendees will know how to harness financial assistance to benefit their clients and patients\, without sacrificing production or clinic revenue.\nAttendees will appreciate the unique contributions that each team member can make in navigating financial challenges with a client.\nAttendees will come away with a library of resources for veterinary financial assistance.\n\nPresenters \nDr. Margo Hennet is the Director of Veterinary Programs at the Open Door Veterinary Collective. She earned her veterinary degree at Colorado State University in Fort Collins\, CO and then completed a postdoctoral Internal Medicine internship in Boulder\, CO. She has professional experience in research\, clinical practice\, and the pet care industry. As a clinical veterinarian she has practiced in specialty hospitals\, general practice\, emergency\, and rural mobile settings. \nAimee St. Arnaud is the founder of Open Door Veterinary Collective and a business partner in two full-service veterinary clinics that focus on removing barriers to care and increasing access to veterinary services while still maintaining a net positive revenue. She created Open Door Veterinary Collective\, a non-profit that mentors practices that want to replicate this business model as a way to help more pet families get care while reducing moral stress for veterinary teams. \nThis webinar is FREE for all attendees. 1.5 hours of RACE CE credits for HSVMA members only.\nNot yet a member? Join HSVMA today! \nWEBSITE LINK: https://hsvma.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__JVIbh3XQYCCs8X_ACTbVg#/registration

SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/10/25 - Transforming Perceptions\, Increasing Adoptions: The Future of Shelter Pets in California - CalAnimals
DESCRIPTION:Most Californians say they support pet adoptions from shelters—but the reality doesn’t match their intentions.

However\, many workers face burnout and compassion fatigue\, leading some to leave the field. \n\n\n\n\nIn 2023\, Best Friends conducted the largest U.S. survey on shelter staff well-being. Nearly half of respondents reported high compassion satisfaction\, and most plan to stay in their roles. Yet\, over half showed high burnout\, and over 90% had high compassion fatigue\, raising concerns about staff well-being and the sustainability of lifesaving efforts. \nThis presentation will focus on positive solutions and how shelters can learn from veterinary well-being practices to support staff and volunteers. \n\n\n\n\nHave questions or comments about this topic? Engage with our guest speaker on this Maddie’s Pet Forum discussion thread. https://maddies.fund/MIwebcast03132025 \nRegister now: http://maddies.fund/MIwebcastsRegister

SUMMARY:Webinar - 1/14/25 - Happy Pills: Teaching Dogs to Swallow Pills/Take Medicine - Dog iBox (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:No\, this webinar isn’t about antidepressants. It’s about teaching your dog to swallow pills. Naked pills. This is a core husbandry behavior – a component of cooperative healthcare. Though hiding medication in food or pill-pockets often works\, it can backfire. You might find yourself needing to be ever more creative about what tasty food can disguise the pill. And sometimes\, the bitter taste or weird sensation in the throat will become associated with food\, causing your dog to hesitate when offered any treat or meal. We’ll look at some options for shaping voluntary pill-swallowing\, which is an extension of the “trick” of fluent eating. Kathy’s experience working with zoo animals provides inspiration to share this information with everyone who cares for a dog. \nPresenter: Kathy Sdao \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dog-ibox.com/en/teaching-dogs-to-swallow-pills-take-medicine.html

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/10/25 - From Pickup to Prevention: How Field Services Can Keep Pets Home - HASS
DESCRIPTION:The role of field services is not limited to enforcement of public safety\, but should be embraced as the first responders to pet support services and community engagement! This often includes a primary responsibility of their role to pick up lost pets and transporting to the shelter in the hopes an owner would retrieve them. HASS asks\, what if this wasn’t the only method for field services to support lost pet reunification? \nIn honor of ACO Appreciation Month and to continue our conversation on lost pet reunification\, HASS welcomes you to join Jace Huggins\, VP & Chief of Humane Law Enforcement at San Diego Humane Society and Mike Wheeler\, Director of Cabot Animal Support Services\, as they discuss how to unite with your local animal control team to support less lost pet intake and more keeping families together. \nWEBSITE LINK: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/7017380094930/WN_kcSfw6pNSo-SnOOIqK7sbA#/registration

SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/10/25 - Maddie’s Insights: Exploring Efficacy\, Barriers\, and Best Practices of Companion Animal Foster Caregiving - Maddie's Insights
DESCRIPTION:Foster care is a unique form of human-animal interaction that is increasingly understood to be an effective tool for improving the welfare of shelter-living animals. Even brief stays in foster care can allow animals to escape the stressors of the shelter\, provide an environment that allows for greater social interaction\, and offer opportunities for improved health and behavior. \nIn this presentation\, we will highlight the key takeaways revealed in the 42 published articles evaluating companion animal foster care programs that are included in our recent review paper: Companion animal foster caregiving: A scoping review exploring animal and caregiver welfare\, barriers to caregiver recruitment and retention\, and best practices for foster care programs in animal shelters. During our discussion\, we will examine a variety of foster care programs that have been studied\, explore the evidence of their effects on human and animal welfare\, evaluate the successes and challenges in supporting shelter foster care programs\, illuminate discrepancies in equity and diversity of caregiver engagement that offer opportunities for recruitment\, and recommend best practices for lasting programmatic success. \nLearning Objectives:\n1. Describe scientific research about foster caregiving as an intervention for companion animals.\n2. Identify the proximate (i.e.\, physical and emotional) and distal (i.e.\, length of stay and adoption outcomes) welfare benefits of foster caregiving for shelter animals as well as their caregivers.\n3. Explore opportunities for improving foster care programs in animal shelters\, including utilizing a stepwise approach to foster caregiving\, providing greater caregiver support\, increasing the diversity of caregiver involvement\, and expanding the extent of community engagement within foster care programs. \nGuest Speakers:\nLisa Gunter\, Assistant Professor\, PhD\, CAAB\, CBCC-KA\, and Grace Phillips\, Master’s Student\, Virgina Tech\, School of Animal Sciences \nRegister for Maddie’s Insights Webcasts: https://maddies.fund/MIwebcastsRegister
