Event Details

Description: This program is a continuing education presentation targeted toward a veterinary technician audience and is part of the Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health USA Inc. Tech Champions Program. The goal of the program is to empower veterinary technicians to educate feline pet owners on the importance of year-round protection from endo- and ectoparasites, including the related potential health risks from fleas, ticks, heartworm disease, hookworms, roundworms, and tapeworms. By pairing technical information on parasitology with communication tools and techniques, veterinary technicians will leave this presentation with a solid foundation of how these parasites can affect feline patients and a strategy on how to get more cats protected.

Learning Objectives:
1. Learn about the typical feline patient and the current status of year-round parasite protection for US pet cats.
2. Review why pet cats need protection against fleas, ticks, heartworm disease, roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms, with a focus on indoor-only cats and how indoor infestations/infectious can occur.
3. Explore strategies to get more cats into the clinic and more cat owners to leave with a preventative product, including advice on communicating with owners.
