Animal Keepers Insurance will lead a discussion to answer our questions and provide guidance to help California shelters mitigate risk. With so many shelter pets now in foster care, who is responsible when the foster dog bites the neighbor? What are best practices in disclosing animal behavior information? What are the most common claims made against shelters? Do you have other questions? Let us know!

As a continuation of the Chameleon Basics webinar, this session will focus on the most common scenarios of animal intakes and outcomes. It will be geared toward beginning users. Because procedures can vary greatly from agency to agency, we intend to keep the webinar simple and pointed, reserving a long period for question and answer at the end of the session for general discussion.

This presentation will take a look at how pets and their owners can get healthier during the pandemic. Physical health and mental health for both pet owners and pets are increasingly strained while observing the stay at home orders.

PetHub Presents: Gateway Pet Guardians has spent years working with low income families in the Metro East St. Louis area, providing supplies and services to families with pets. Community programming has been put in place to help families access these resources, overcoming obstacles such as affordability and access. Now, more than ever, low income families in communities all over the United States can use the support of animal welfare organizations due to the rippling effects of COVID-19. As we wade through these uncharted waters, we must consider how to modify existing programming and create new programming to help families care for their pets despite recent economic impacts.

Fear Free and Virox Present: COVID has forced change in veterinary practice more dramatically and faster than anything in our memories or experience. Telemedicine seemed so far off and now most of us are using it in some capacity. Some of us dreamed of just seeing pets without their people, and those dreams have come true! All joking aside, we can now see how pets respond when mom and dad aren’t in the building with them. We’re discovering new efficiencies we never thought possible. In this webinar you’ll learn how to be forward thinking, creative, adaptive, compassionate, efficient, and healthy (physically and emotionally) while delivering the kind of veterinary care that will have pet parents coming in more often and referring others to taste for themselves. Welcome to “business as unusual” or “returning to business as abnormal” as we embrace the change thrust upon us and harness it for growth.

This approach can be very effective and efficient, but also raises some practical questions. Come learn more about the telehealth landscape and how best to implement this tool in your shelter or clinic.
