NAVTA is excited to bring back our exciting collaborative workshop on where you will learn how to draft proposals to modify regulations and/or state veterinary practice acts to advance veterinary technicians in your state. To help bring standardization to our profession, we want to offer an opportunity for people to come together and collaborate on their proposals.
Upon completion of the workshop, each participant will:
– Outline achievable state legislative goals
– Write specific practice act language to progress the veterinary technician profession in their state
– Create an action plan to identify stakeholders and supporters.
Participants of the workshop will have the opportunity to break into small groups where they can work with peers to craft proposals and strategies to engage with their respective state legislatures. Small groups will be guided by mentors who have worked with legislatures and regulators in their own state.

Session Description:
Senior dogs and cats make up an increasing percentage of pets seeking veterinary care. Nutritional needs change in healthy elder pets compared to the young adult life stage. Veterinary healthcare teams must provide nutritional assessments and individual recommendations, recognizing there is no defined nutrient profile for seniors. Aging is a continuum and individual variation prevents a “one size fits all” approach. Integrating excellent individualized nutritional care of senior pets can help them thrive throughout their golden years.

Program Description:
Every pet deserves and should receive a nutritional recommendation on every visit. Nutrition is one area of veterinary medicine that affects every pet that comes into the hospital. When a pet receives a therapeutic pet food recommendation navigating the conversation will help with compliance. It will help the pet parent accept the recommendation and does not change the food recommendation to something that may not be appropriate. You can be instrumental in guiding a pet parent, answering questions and determining feeding amounts. Follow up is imperative for success of a new food. The veterinary health care team can pay an integral role in helping pet owners successfully switch to a new therapeutic food.

This presentation will equip veterinary technicians with the knowledge and skills to educate pet owners about diabetes mellitus (DM), including new treatment and management options for cats and dogs. By combining background on the disease, risk factors, and pain points with technical information on treatment and management, this presentation will provide veterinary technicians with a solid foundation of how DM can affect canine and feline patients. Technicians will leave with communication tools and strategies to help pet owners feel confident caring for their diabetic pets.

The goal of this program is to empower veterinary technicians with the knowledge and skills to educate pet owners about myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD)
The goal of this program is to empower veterinary technicians with the knowledge and skills to educate pet owners about myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), 2 conditions that can lead to congestive heart failure (CHF) in dogs. MMVD alone accounts for a majority of canine heart disease cases in the United States. However, intervention during the preclinical phase of MMVD can delay the onset of CHF in dogs. Veterinary technicians will acquire communication tools and strategies to initiate conversations and articulate the benefits of early identification of MMVD to engage dog owners in proactive screening and diagnostic testing.
