Working with AAHA
With the AAHA Annual Conference kicking off this week, we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to announce the latest NAVTA-AAHA initiative.  We are working together to create a consumer publication called "Paws and Claws" to be distributed through AAHA clinics across the country. 
 
At this time, we are looking for veterinary technicians who are interested in writing articles or columns about topics that would be of interest to companion animal owners.  Do you have expertise with a certain condition, disease or topic that would be helpful to pet owners?  Is there specific advice that you find yourself giving to clients again and again?  Do you have special tips for improving at-home care, such as making teeth cleaning a snap?  No matter the topic, we want to hear from you!

If you are interested in contributing to this new publication, please send your ideas to Sandy Sponaugle at [email protected].
