SUMMARY:Webinar - 4/5/22 and 4/13/22 - Alternatives to Declaw - CVMA (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, we will explore how cat scratching—a normal feline behavior—can lead to one of two unwanted consequences: either the owner seeks a permanent solution and asks for a surgical solution known as “declawing\,” or the animal is rehomed or surrendered to a shelter. We will address the importance of cats performing normal behaviors\, such as appropriate opportunities to scratch\, and will explore humane solutions that are based in understanding the nature of this behavior. We will learn how correct tools\, techniques\, and newly developed products can positively impact the human-animal bond. 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. \nDates and Times\nTuesday\, April 5\, 2022 | 5:30 PM-6:45 PM\nRegistration\, cancellation\, and substitution deadline: March 29\, 2022 \nWednesday\, April 13\, 2022| 12:30 PM-1:45 PM\nRegistration\, cancellation\, and substitution deadline: April 6\, 2022 \nSpeaker\n\nJeannine Berger\, DVM\, DACVB\, DACAW\, CAWA \nDr. Jeannine Berger is one of the few veterinarians that is double-boarded with the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists as well as the American College for Animal Welfare.
