Maddie's Fund, a non-profit organization working to save shelter pets, is hosting a tremendous online seminar for pet parents. Learn about titer tests and how this simple blood test can save pets lives.
From MaddiesFund.org...
"Leading vaccine researcher Dr. Ronald Schultz doesn't want to see any more shelter pets die just because they've been exposed to a deadly infectious disease. That's why he offered a shelter a chance to make a different choice during their next outbreak, allowing them to save the lives of 17 dogs.
How did they do it? With the use of a simple in-house antibody titer test that revealed which pets had an immunity to the disease. Please join Maddie's Fund and Maddie's® Institute for a free webcast with Ronald Schultz, MS, PhD, ACVM, on "Saving Lives With Antibody Titer Tests" on Thursday, September 8, 2011, at 9 PM Eastern/8 PM Central/7 PM Mountain/6 PM Pacific.
The session will include an opportunity to ask a limited number of questions.

Wow. Thank you so much for posting this opportunity! See, this is information that can only be found on the Truth About Pet Food!
Could it be passed along to the "Organic Viewer" audience as well?
This is an excellent chance for pet owners to learn the advantages of immunity testing for their furry ones! I wish this was available to all pet guardians so we could reduce the occurence of over-vaccinating. Thanks for posting Susan!
