Do you brush your dogs teeth? Have you ever looked in your cat's mouth?
Did you know it can save teeth, and also save on vet bills. Dental disease can also affect your pet's kidneys and heart.

This and many other topics and tips will be covered in the veterinarian’s workshop. Be empowered to spot problems early so that your pet can live the longest, happiest life.
Two evenings, two topics. Attending both is a complete overview of your pet’s health.

Who is it for?
For all animal lovers and all ages. From new to experienced owners, groomers, kennel/catteries, training vets and nurses.

What you will learn
- Learn how to examine your own pet in detail and find ailments sooner
- Know what’s 'normal' for your own pet so you can recognise when it's 'abnormal'.
- Know when it is a real emergency
- Save lives with basic first aid

This workshop is an observation tool to detect problems sooner, to minimize suffering, speed recovery of your pet and reduce your vet bills.

The evening will consist of a powerpoint presentation and a mid-way break will allow for a practical session and a refreshing tea or coffee. A friendly dog will visit for a hands-on demonstration.
