  • 1.  Aggression in Dogs - When to euthanize

    Posted 05-10-2019 05:06 AM

    We are looking to create a committee that will have the responsibility to evaluate aggressive dogs and then make the decision as to if the dog can be rehabilitated or if euthanasia is necessary.  If anyone has any policies, procedures, guidelines, or other suggestions that they'd be willing to share it would be most appreciated.

    @KristenAuerbach Didn't you have something like this at Austin Animal Center? And I'm guessing probably at PACC now?

    Here's a webcast about the program at Austin Pets Alive! and Austin Animal Center.

    And here's a series of blogs about it:

    Blog One - Lifesaving Protocol

    Blog Two - Lifesaving Protocol

    Blog Three - Lifesaving Protocol

    Let us know what you think. Is it helpful?

    Thank you Dr. Segurson!  What an inspiring webcast.  I learned a lot and can certainly apply everything to the task that I have been charged with.  I appreciate your help very much!
