Consider "Fixing 'em while they're young"At PetLynx Corporation we are committed to ensuring all pets have HomeSafe homes. That's why we want to share this importance resource addressing the topic of pediatric spaying and neutering of puppies and kittens. This could very well be a big part of the solution to North America's homeless pet overpopulation problem!
PetSmart Charities has an educational video that will help reduce homeless pet overpopulation by training veterinarians on how to perform spay/neuter surgeries on puppies and kittens as small as two pounds and as young as 6-8 weeks old.
The video, produced in partnership with Humane Alliance is titled Veterinary Seminars in Spay-Neuter Surgery Pediatrics. It is available for free download as www.humanealliance.org.
Groups can also order a copy for the cost of shipping and handling through the Humane Alliance Web site.
Additionally, animal welfare organizations can view a free Webinar by Dr. Brenda Griffin detailing the importance of pediatric spay/neuter and how to be part of the homeless pet overpopulation solution. The Webinar is available at www.petsmartcharities.org. Griffin, an adjunct associate professor of Shelter Medicine at the University of Florida, is board certified in small animal internal medicine and one of the collaborating veterinarians on this project.
"We want to remind animal welfare organizations that this valuable resource is now available and encourage them to work with the shelter or partner veterinarians to share the information on the video," says Susan Della Maddalena, executive director of PetSmart Charities, Inc. "By spreading the word about the importance of early spay/neuter techniques, we can all help present homeless pet over population."
