AVMA brochure shares tips on managing pet’s ideal weight
NGVS • 9 February 2016

We often demonstrate love for our pets by giving them treats, but it’s easy to forget that pets have different nutritional needs than we do, and what may seem like an innocuous treat to us could be a calorie overload for our pets. AVMA’s Yor Pet’s Healthy Weight Brochure, provides tips for pet owners on how to manage and maintain their pet’ ideal weight.

Open to all! This is a 2-hour seminar comprised of a combination of lecture material and hands-on lab time (for those registering for working spots). Topics discussed will include basic muscle anatomy and physiology; the benefits of massage and stretching; the correct timing for massage and stretching; and basic massage techniques. Lab sessions will include videos detailing basic stretches and common areas of tightness in the forelimbs and hind limbs. Participants will be guided through the stretches and massage techniques with the assistance of trained staff members, and there will be time for questions throughout the seminar.
