Infectious diseases such as canine parvovirus, canine cough, giardia, and ringworm are significant concerns in any pet care facility. While cases can be inevitable, taking a proactive approach is crucial to prevent these diseases. Not only is disease management important, but how you communicate this to your clients as well as your staff is equally important.
Join infectious disease veterinary expert Dr. Matthew Goetz and pet care business expert Laura Laaman for a four-hour certification course designed to equip you with essential knowledge and strategies. The course will cover common infectious diseases in dogs and cats, focusing on the most prevalent ones, and discuss which diseases can be prevented through vaccination. You will also learn to develop effective cleaning and sanitation protocols to minimize disease transmission. In addition, the course will address outbreak response and management, including handling active cases in your community, responding to facility outbreaks, and implementing the best prevention methods. Finally, bring your questions! There will be ample time to ask about operations, veterinary concerns, and public relations.
Upon completion, attendees will receive a certificate in Professional Pet Boarding Infectious Disease Management. This certification is ideal for owners, managers, and staff, providing the knowledge needed to protect pets and maintain a healthy environment in your facility.
