In this webinar course, Tony Buffington, DVM, PhD, Clinical Professor at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, will remind participants “who cats are” and why they are particularly prone to fear in confined situations (i.e., hospitals, shelters, homes, etc.) After defining fear and stress in cats, Dr. Buffington will explain what people can do to minimize their fear, particularly in caged contexts—including how to enrich the cat’s surroundings, both inside and outside of the cage, and how to recognize both red and green flags by “asking” the cat. Resources for training staff and where to learn more about effective environmental enrichment for cats will also be provided.

Decreasing fear, anxiety, stress (FAS), and pain leads to safer anesthesia by allowing a lower dose of sedative and anesthetic drugs needed for anesthesia premedication, induction, maintenance, and recovery. Lower drug dosages are especially critical in complicated patients with underlying disease and physiologic compromise. In this discussion, Tamara Grubb DVM, PhD, DACVAA, will explore the role of Fear Free principles in anesthetic safety, especially in the compromised/complicated patient.

It is estimated that a third of dogs suffer from some form of noise aversion. If you saw 12 dogs yesterday, four of them are likely to develop noise sensitivities in their lifetime. Not only can a fear of sounds be physiologically and emotionally damaging for dogs, but it can also strain the human-animal relationship. In this presentation, Kenneth Martin, DVM, DACVB, and Debbie Martin, CPDT-KA, KPA CTP, LVT, VTS (Behavior), will provide you with strategies for how to approach, prevent, and treat sound sensitivities, including teaching desired coping skills.

One of the first things veterinarians learn is that the whole body is connected—even poor oral health can have lasting impacts on a dog’s longevity and quality of life.

Join Jan Bellows, DVM, DAVDC, as he discusses the importance of canine dental care.
