CVMA NEWS More Than 750 Pets Receive Complimentary Wellness Exams and Rabies Vaccinations during PetCheck 2019 Katie Kethcart, CVMA Communications and Content Manager Thanks to the generosity of CVMA members, more than 750 pets received a much-needed wellness exam and a rabies vaccination (if appropriate) during the 10th annual PetCheck, held April 6 and 7 throughout Colorado. PetCheck is a CVMA community service program that gives members the opportunity to help disadvantaged pets in their community that may not regularly see a veterinarian while also educating the public about the importance of preventive care. Thank you to all 46 member clinics across the state who participated and provided preventive exams and rabies vaccinations to more than 750 pets for PetCheck. In addition to the veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and administrative staff that made the program possible, CVMA would like to thank our generous sponsor, Boehringer Ingelheim—a
global leader in veterinary rabies vaccines—who provided rabies vaccine trays to each participating clinic. Lastly, we’d like to extend a special thank you to the CSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital, particularly CVMA member Dr. Rebecca Ruch-Gallie and her veterinary students for staffing a Community Outreach Clinic in the parking lot of the 9News studios in Denver. Thanks to our student volunteers, we saw more than 60 appointments Saturday morning! We were proud to see the next generation of veterinary medicine in action and pet owners were grateful for their service. n
