New Shelter Health Pro website launched
The Ontario SPCA has launched a new online tool,
shelterhealthpro.com, to equip animal shelter staff, volunteers and veterinary
care providers with resources to make animals more comfortable in a humane and
healthy environment.
While designed specifically for animal shelter staff,
volunteers and veterinary care providers, the information available on the new
Shelter Health Pro website is applicable to anyone responsible for housing a
large group of animals. This includes breeders, kennel operators and event
organizers, such as those hosting dog shows and pet expos.
The goal of the website is to save lives with the most
current best practices for improving animal health and welfare through
effective management strategies, protocols and resources for infection and
disease prevention and control.
