Pediatric Spay/ Neuter Webinar
Presented by: Brenda Griffin
Tuesday, August 17: 11:00 a.m. mountain time
Wednesday, August 18: 2:00 p.m. mountain time
Thursday, August 19: 10:00 a.m. mountain time
Learn how easy it is to eliminate the need for hard-to-enforce "sterilization contracts" by
ensuring that puppies and kittens as young as 6-8 weeks of age are safely
spayed/neutered prior to adoption from your organization.
This session will address many common questions that are
often asked about pediatric spay-neuter:
Are these procedures safe?
Do puppies and kittens experience more difficulty recovering after surgery then older animals?
Are there long term negative effects on pet health when
spay/neuter is preformed at such an early age?
Why are some vets reluctant to perform spay/neuter surgery on these young patients?
How can vets learn the techniques for performing spay/neuter on young puppies and kittens?
Join us to learn the facts about the safety and ease of these procedures and how to work with your vet to make it part of your organization's good work. Be one of the first to hear about an exciting new downloadable DVD for veterinarians demonstrating pediatric techniques designed to improve efficiency while maximizing patient comfort and safety.
This DVD can be shared with all veterinarians wanting to learn these skills.
For more information about how webinars work, or to set up a test run to make sure your computer is set up and ready to go, please feel free to contact Suzy Hayton at shayton@petsmartcharities.org
