Donors tell us who they are and what they need from their relationship with us by the information they provide: who they are, why they give, and what matters to them.

It’s up to us to ensure we’re listening and treating them with dignity and respect.

But what if our processes are not inclusive? Could we be misrepresenting our donors – or worse!?!

In this session we’ll look at best practices in data management to ensure you’re building equity, inclusion, and representation in your database and discuss ways you can better recognize your donors for who they are.

In part due to the excellent veterinary care that we deliver to our patients, we are presented with more geriatric cats and dogs now than we were 10 years ago. Most of us didn’t learn much about how to recognize and treat cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CDS) in dogs and cats. In this session, attendees will learn the most up to date prevention strategies and treatments of CDS in dogs and cats.

In this webinar, Lisa Radosta, DVM, DACVB, will cover:

1. The most common clinical signs of CDS
2. The most commonly used treatments
3. How non-medical treatments can be effective in the management of CDS patients

Sightings of and conflicts with bears and cougars are becoming more and more common in urban and suburban areas across the U.S. Responding to the public’s concerns about these wild neighbors can be especially difficult, given the greater potential for dangerous encounters between these predators and people. This webinar will provide an overview on the biology and ecology of these animals, how to make yards and neighborhoods less attractive to them, how to reduce conflicts with people and pets, which situations necessitate a response, and how to handle problems if they arise.
