ACVB Presents: When is it neurological and when is it behavioural? This talk will use cases to discuss this approach and the pitfalls of assuming that you know something you may not when you label the condition.

FDSA Presents (fee applies): In this webinar Deb will introduce the zen concept along with a variety of exercises to introduce that will encourage your dog to become more thoughtful and less reactive around food and toys.

Community Cats Podcast Presents: The more cats you fix, the more impact your TNR program will have, right? Wrong! Spay/neuter volume alone is rarely enough by itself to keep consistently reducing a community’s free-roaming cat population over time. Another aspect to the program needs to be identifying areas of high need (meaning, lots of cats) and then focusing TNR resources at that location in order to achieve high sterilization rates. Discover what targeting is, why it’s so important, and how you can do it no matter how large or small your program currently is.

VETGirl Presents: In this complimentary, 1-hour, VETgirl–Elanco webinar, Dr. Natalie Marks, CVJ reviews the clinical presentation and diagnostics encountered with a new feline diabetic.

Tune in to learn about the mechanism of action, dosing, possible adverse events (and how it differs from insulin therapy), case selection, monitoring guidelines, and frequently asked questions.
