Are Pandemic Pets at Greater Risk of Preventable Diseases?
Millions of pets have become "Pandemic Pets" as quarantined homes welcomed furry friends to help ease the stress of disruptions caused by COVID-19.
This week hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT tackle the topic of whether or not these pandemic pets are receiving proper veterinary preventive care and if this puts these newly-adopted dogs and cats at greater risk of preventable diseases.
The duo share real-life stories and offer solutions to the causes of this surge in pets at potential risk.
They also reveal unexpected lifestyle risks associated with the novel coronavirus pandemic and how veterinary professionals can be proactive at connecting with pet parents and protecting dogs and cats.
This is an important discussion we hope the Viewfinders enjoy. Dr. Ernie and Beckie highlight several pet care issues that have been largely unacknowledged need more attention from our profession.
Viewfinders, what have your experiences been? How are you winning at relations with shelters and foster groups? What steps are you taking to communicate with pet parents? We want to hear from you!
