Webinar – 5/19/25 – Redefining the Gold Standard: A New Framework for More Accessible Care – UC Davis KSMP
UC Davis KSMP Presents: A standing-room-only presentation at this year’s Animal Care Expo reinforced what we’ve all been thinking: It’s time to move beyond the “gold standard” as the sole approach to veterinary medicine. While you may be familiar with spectrum of care and incremental care as methods to expand access, this workshop will advance those ideas by exploring contextualized care—what it is and how to implement it in shelters, community medicine and private practices. Join Dr. Sarah Mantovani, Kelly Bremken, MSSW, and Dr. Jennifer Bennett to identify barriers to care for companion animals, investigate the underlying causes of these challenges, and develop new strategies to reach underserved populations.

Online Event – 5/22/25 – Maddie’s Monthly Behavior Connection: Socializing Puppies with Dr. Karen Overall – Maddie’s Fund
Maddie’s Fund Presents: What do we mean when we recommend that puppies are ‘socialized’? Is there a role for mom in this? What about the home or environment into which the dog is born? Are the recommendations the same for puppies adopted young and older pups? When should puppies be adopted? What about pups that have some early trauma or neglect? What can we fix and what can we prevent? This webcast will review each of these issues, identify factors to which we should pay more attention, and discuss when interventions may help and what those could be.
