NEW! CONFERENCE NETWORKING EVENT. On Friday, September 23rd from 6:00pm-8:00pm, join us for an off-site evening of fun at Top Golf! This is a fun off-site networking event to spend time with your fellow pet care pros, whether you play golf or not. Tickets are $100, and advanced purchase is required as we must turn numbers in to the venue. Each ticket includes two hours of golf, food, and soft drinks (alcohol is available for purchase separately). Tickets may be purchased at petcareconference.com.

HEAT SAFETY. Have you reviewed your facility’s heat protocols with your staff? Since most of IBPSA’s membership is moving into summer, now is a great time to hold a staff heat safety meeting and review your policies. Make sure that your staff has the breed knowledge necessary to properly determine safe outdoor limits during extreme heat.

CONTINUING EDUCATION. We are pleased that the majority of this year’s conference sessions have been approved for both PACCC and RACE continuing education credits. Details on tracking and claiming your credits will be coming soon.
