Pet Vaccine Summit
To vaccinate or not vaccinate – that is the question we hear frequently in our profession.
Long before the COVID pandemic pushed the vaccine debate into the spotlight, the “vaccine talk” is something many in the veterinary profession had daily with their clients. Even with so much information at their fingertips, it often feels like we’re fighting a losing battle and spending more time correcting disinformation than discussing the facts.
What is the latest information?
Join us for our next free Sunday Morning Webinar Series as we welcome a variety of experts to provide updates on vaccines for dogs and cats. Our morning will wrap up with a panel discussion. So grab a cup of coffee, curl up with your pet and log on for our “Pet Vaccine Summit”.

Lethal Leptospirosis: A Preventable Disease
Jane Sykes, BVSc , DACVIM, UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine
Leptospirosis can be a deadly systemic disease of dogs and humans. In recent years, new diagnostics have been developed, and the safety and efficacy of vaccines have been improved. Vaccination saves lives, as well as the need for costly dialysis treatments. It also reduces the risk of zoonotic transmission. An update on these tests and vaccines will be presented in this session, using contemporary case examples to illustrate.
