The Association of Shelter Veterinarians (ASV,\u00a0<a href=\"sheltervet.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>sheltervet.org<\/strong>)<\/a> has created a formal petition for this specialty, and public comments are welcome through September 1, 2013. The petition and comments will then be evaluated by the ABVS at their fall meeting before a final decision is made with regard to recognizing this new veterinary specialty, which would fall under the auspices of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP, abvp.com). Comments can be submitted to dbanasiak@avma.org or David Banasiak, AVMA Education and Research Division, 1931 N Meacham Road, Suite 100, Schaumburg IL 60173-4360. The ASV has prepared a 1-page information summary, FAQs PDF, and other supporting materials, all of which are available on the ASV website along with the petition.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Pocket Digital Clinical Refractometer<a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2013\/07\/Reichert-Vet360-Chek-Digital-Refractometer.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3143 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2013\/07\/Reichert-Vet360-Chek-Digital-Refractometer-253x300.jpg\" alt=\"Reichert Vet360-Chek Digital Refractometer\" width=\"164\" height=\"194\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Reichert Technologies (<a href=\"reichertai.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>reichertai.com<\/strong><\/a>) has introduced the Vet360-Chek pocket digital clinical refractometer designed specifically for veterinarians and veterinary applications. This refractometer accurately and precisely measures the urine specific gravity (USG) and serum protein concentrations of different animal species through its chemistry scales. The instrument also provides separate canine and feline USG measurement scales. Cat urine chemistry differs from that of dogs and other larger animals, and cat urine readings on a dog or human USG scale will produce falsely elevated values, which can lead to a misdiagnosis.

The study found the vast majority (81%) of cat owners believed that cats are very self-sufficient and independent and, therefore, require little attention. Many owners of indoor cats believed their pets were safe from disease and did not take into account conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease, which develop in any environment. Over half (58%) of owners report that their cats hate going to the veterinary clinic and, for 38%, just thinking about it was stressful.

The two-part campaign includes a tool kit to help the veterinary health care team better communicate the need for annual checkups with their clients and a fully integrated direct-to-consumer communications program designed to engage pet owners with their veterinarians.

A service dog&#8217;s mouth is one of its most important assets in performing essential daily tasks for its owner, and good dental health is vital. In June, AVDC board certified veterinary dentists provided complimentary oral health exams for registered service dogs to check for oral and dental diseases that could compromise the dogs&#8217; health and prevent them from performing their essential duties effectively. Necessary dental procedures will be performed in August with the aid of a $20,000 grant from The Greenies Brand.
