This event is free! Join us tomorrow!

Join us tomorrow for a great Live Conversation!

Service animals provide critical assistance to veterans. Their specialized training prepares them to offer emotional, physical, and social support to support and enhance the veterans’ quality of life. As a working animal, they need to be able to perform their trained tasks. What happens when a service animal for veterans needs veterinary care?

Learn about innovative approaches of access to veterinary care specific to service animals for military veterans. Join Dr. Brenda Kennedy, Chief Veterinary Officer for Canine Companions, in a discussion of special considerations that arise in accessing veterinary care for service animals for veterans.

You can scan the QR code or click the link in our bio to RSVP. We’ll see you there!
