Canine Temperature Taking
Taking a dog’s temperature can be a FAS inducing event for both the patient and the staff. But it doesn’t have to be!

Improving the Emotional Experience via Science of the Senses: Smell

Conoceremos en que consiste el programa Fear Free, sus pilares fundamentales. Revisaremos las características de la especie felina, como percibe el mundo, sus necesidades y como se comunica permanentemente. El comprender y reconocer estos puntos será clave para desarrollar una practica Fear Free. Determinar si nuestros pacientes presentan miedo, ansiedad y estrés será un punto clave para trabajar de una manera acorde, pero fundamentalmente prevenirlas. Nuestras clínicas y hospitales, pueden beneficiarse ampliamente incorporando estas prácticas, sin tener que realizar grandes inversiones ni cambios edilicios.
Increase Team Efficiency: Workflow Tips & Technology Integrations
Life in pet professional settings has had challenges over the last few years, including adapting to no contact orders, parking lot check in, new technology processes, and even Telehealth. During this presentation, we will explore ways to use technology to help alleviate some of this stress for both pet parents and their pets. Because animals are so in tune with human feelings, anything we can do to help the parent benefits the pet. Using Fear Free techniques along with new technology supports in increasing our overall client satisfaction and the pet experience.
Psychological Safety for Veterinary Teams
Psychological safety is the most important aspect of successful teams. Our ability to feel safe to share ideas, to grow from failure, and to be honest with empathy allows our team to bypass the “interpersonal mush” that can exist otherwise. A sense of belonging, ability to be vulnerable, and strong interpersonal relationships are the initial ingredients to create this environment. We can assess psychological safety in a team using different tools. If psychological safety is lacking, we can help foster it using specific interventions, including civility and growth mindset work.
