The vaccinations toolkit
Vaccination recommendations can be confusing to pet owners. This toolkit delivers team training, free client handouts, exam room education strategies and more, all designed to make it as easy as possible for veterinarians and their teams to explain vaccinations to pet owners. (With an educational grant provided by Zoetis)
This dvm360 toolkit focuses on vaccinations. The special package of articles, tips, handouts, videos, and tools is designed to make it easy for your team to educate pet owners about the importance of vaccinations in preventing disease.
