National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day is a great reminder that the veterinary experience doesn’t begin at the clinic. It begins at home.

The carrier coming out, the trip to the clinic, and everything that happens before an appointment can shape how a cat experiences veterinary care.

Today is an opportunity to think beyond the exam room and help pet parents understand the role they can play in creating a more Fear Free experience from the very beginning.

Join us on September 3 at 8 p.m. ET along with Lisa Radosta DVM, DACVB, for a one-hour webinar and explore the interlinked nature of behavior and physical health and how you can use your greater understanding to create better outcomes for your patients.

This webinar explores the critical connection between physical health and behavior, challenging the assumption that behavior problems exist in isolation. Using current research and real-world case studies, Dr. Lisa Radosta demonstrates how gastrointestinal, dermatologic, and endocrine diseases can contribute to behavioral changes and how recognizing these underlying medical conditions can lead to more successful patient outcomes.

Microchips are an important tool for reuniting lost pets with their families—but their effectiveness depends on accurate, up-to-date registration information.

This Check the Chip Day, AKC Reunite encourages veterinary professionals to remind clients to verify their pet’s microchip registration and ensure their contact information is current. Veterinary teams can also incorporate microchip scanning into annual wellness visits to confirm the chip can be detected and help reinforce the importance of keeping registration information up to date.

A quick check can make an important difference in helping lost pets find their way home.
