Friday, July 25, 2025 - 10am Pacific

Facing increasing intake numbers and the constant threat of infectious disease? If it seems like dogs keep getting sick no matter what you do, join KSMP Outreach Veterinarian Dr. Chumkee Aziz and learn steps you can take today to prevent and manage Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease (CIRD) in your shelter.

With proven isolation and quarantine protocols, your team can create crucial room to breathe, ensuring more dogs stay healthy and ready for adoption.

By the end of this webinar, you’ll be ready to:

  • Pinpoint key risk factors that fuel CIRD spread and severity in shelters, and know when and how to use isolation, quarantine, and foster care strategies to effectively manage CIRD.
  • Evaluate and apply the latest vaccination recommendations for CIRD prevention, while recognizing their effectiveness and limitations in shelter settings.
  • Create treatment plans for CIRD cases, focusing on choosing the right antibiotics and using them responsibly, and knowing when to run tests.
  • Understand how managing your shelter's capacity, using good housing, and reducing stress can help prevent CIRD.

From RVTs and DVMs and beyond, everyone in the shelter has the power to have a big impact on animal health. CIRD doesn’t have to be status quo!

Redefining the Gold Standard: A New Framework for More Accessible Care

Presented by:

Dr. Jennifer Bennett, Dr. Sarah Mantovani, and Kelly Bremken, MSSW

What if the “gold standard” wasn’t the only standard? This recorded webinar challenges the idea that there’s just one right way to deliver veterinary care. Building on concepts like spectrum of care and incremental care, it introduces contextualized care—a practical, values-driven framework that helps meet the needs of animals, people, and communities, even when resources are limited.

Whether you’re in a shelter, clinic, or outreach setting, this session will help you expand access without compromising compassion.
