Let's help more dogs get the protection they deserve.
With more than 1,000,000 dogs believed to be heartworm positive each year, heartworm disease is bordering on becoming an epidemic in the United States. Too many dogs are contracting it, and too many pet owners fail to understand how serious the disease can be.
12.12.12 is an industry initiative designed to decrease the number of dogs contracting heartworm disease.
Working together, we want to increase the number of dogs receiving 12 doses of heartworm prevention by 12 percent in 2012. Take the 12.12.12 pledge today.
We're also looking for veterinary technicians who are interested in blogging and speaking with the media about their experiences with 12.12.12 and helping prevent heartworm in dogs. For details, email Sandy Sponaugle at sandy@navta.net.

ARAV seeks VT and VT students
The Association of Reptilian and Amphibian Veterinarians (ARAV) is seeking veterinary technicians and technician students to join and develop VT concerns in for reptilian and amphibian husbandry, education, an exchange of ideas, and research. The organization promotes conservation and humane treatment of reptilian and amphibian species through education, captive breeding, and habitat preservation.

Veterinary technician members are encouraged to participate in all facets of ARAV, from assisting with one of our many committees to presenting the latest breakthroughs in veterinary medicine at our annual conference. We encourage all veterinary technicians interested in reptilian and amphibian medicine to visit the website, attend our annual conference, or talk with a current ARAV member about becoming a veterinary technician member today!
