Webinar – 4/5/22 and 4/13/22 – Alternatives to Declaw – CVMA (fee applies)
CVMA Presents (fee applies): This presentation aims to provide the veterinarian with talking points for a welfare-centered communication with owners of cats with scratching problems, hopefully eliminating the need for the very controversial surgical approach.
