REVIEWS

Student feedback

I enjoyed hearing learning about pet assessments and what treatments are available for muscular/orthopedic injuries. The euthanasia information is important to know as well. Can anyone advise me about a proper orthopedic pet bed? What is the appropriate firmness and material of a mattress? I think every per owner to have this empowerment of knowledge to guide their pets care.

Sensory integration disorders was my favourite lecture so far - so reassuring to know that thinking my dog is on the autism spectrum is validated. I could relate all symptoms she has to the speaker's case study. Also important learning my anxiety about my dogs anxiety is confirming for my dog that she is right to be anxious - I must break this cycle

All of my vet colleagues - and have forwarded invites
