National Pet Dental Health Month

 

February is National Pet Dental Health Month, and NAVTA, along with Hill's Pet Nutrition and several other sponsors, would like to remind members of the veterinary team to get involved with their "Pets Need Dental Care, Too" campaign. This promotion, which provides members of the veterinary healthcare team with educational materials such as exam room and pet owner guides, is aimed to teach pet owners about the importance of pet dental care. Please visit www.petdental.com for more information.

Survey: How important are vet techs?
 
We need your input in finding out how much veterinary technicians are worth in animal hospitals, vet clinics and other places. So, we're asking all team members-technicians and otherwise- to complete our survey. If completed, you'll receive an exclusive, free educational tool worth at least $50; plus, you'll help the profession identify just how much technicians help practices and patients. Complete the survey here.
