COURSE DESCRIPTION
More than half of all dogs leave the vet office without heartworm prevention. Let’s fix that.
If you’ve spent any length of time in small animal practice, we’re sure you could recite ‘the heartworm talk’ in your sleep! How effective is your version of the heartworm talk? How about your team members?
If you’re feeling frustrated by low compliance, looking for new ways to help clients understand heartworms, or wanting to help your staff, this lesson is for you! In this FREE 1-hour video course, practice owner, shelter director, and AHS-Board Member, Dr. Angele Bice, will share how she’s adapted her ‘heartworm talk’ to ensure more pets receive vital preventive care. Whether it’s a financial barrier, a lack of understanding of the disease, or a misconception regarding dosing or safety, Dr. Bice will share how she overcomes each barrier to maximize access to and compliance with recommended care.
Through this video, learn how to better advocate for your patients and work together to prevent this fatal disease.
Thank you to our sponsor, Virbac, for making it possible to offer this course for free!

Virbac (an acronym of virology and bacteriology) is a French company dedicated exclusively to animal health from the inception. It was founded over 50 years ago, in 1968, by a French veterinarian Pierre-Richard Dick. He wanted the company to have a strong focus on vaccines and medicines for companion animals, differentiating the fledgling company from large pharmaceutical companies that specialized in livestock back in those days. Now, for over 50 years, we have been shaping the future of animal health through the wide range of our innovative solutions provided to veterinarians, farmers and pet owners.
