MMPC Learniverse - Curbing Disease as Intake Rises: Prevent, Fight and Win Today

From animal care attendants to RVTs and beyond, everyone in the shelter has the power to have a big impact on animal health.

Have you wondered what else you can do to get ahead of these vicious cycles? This webinar is for you!

Come prepared to UNLEARN unhelpful myths and walk away with tools and techniques that will lead to healthier animals, less stress for you, and make your job of serving the pets and people in your community easier.
