Does your organization have routine processes in place for maintaining physical health and well-being for shelter animals? Veterinary protocols can streamline an animal’s path through the shelter, leading to a healthier population and faster adoptions. This webinar, the second part in a three-part series, will explain how you can apply The Association’s new Veterinary Services Best Practices, creating protocols at your organization that will:
- Increase collaboration between caregiving teams
- Improve shelter efficiencies
- Identify and create veterinary resources within your agency
- Help triage cases
- Develop legal guidelines
You’ll also learn how to develop a record keeping system that captures critical behavioral and medical information.
This webinar recording has been pre-approved for:
- 1 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credit.
- 1 CE by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) for Texas Animal Control Officers
This webinar is based on the Provision of Veterinary Care in a Shelter Setting Best Practices and part of the Best Practices in Veterinary Care series.
