Fearful Felines and Fido: Defensive Handling Techniques for Fear Aggressive Cats and Dogs

Dogs and cats exhibiting aggressive behaviors due to fear and/or pain present several challenges to the veterinary team. These patients can be difficult to evaluate safely and have compromised well-being due to the severe stress they are dealing with.  

Thankfully, there are many handling techniques and skills that can be used in these situations. In this 60-minute webinar, followed by a 30-minute Q + A, through case studies and video demonstration, I will be discussing handling techniques and plans to add to your handling toolbox.
