We hope to see you on the next Maddie's Community Conversation on Monday, March 16, 2026 at 11am PT / 2pm ET for a conversation on "Supporting Pediatric Spay Neuter" with Dr. @Brian DiGangi.
In this conversation, we'll explore the current state of spay-neuter and its relationship with animal shelters and accessible veterinary care. This session will review what we know about the impact and safety of pediatric spay-neuter and highlight operational tips and tricks for success in the clinic.
Led by Dr. Brian DiGangi, a veterinarian board certified in Shelter Medicine Practice with over a decade of experience teaching and performing HQHVSN, this speaker brings both expertise and compassion to the discussion.
This session is ideal for animal welfare professionals, veterinary staff, and community outreach teams who want to deepen their understanding of spay-neuter, why it's important to prioritize pediatric patients in spay-neuter programs, and how to handle these most vulnerable patients with skill and safety.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
-
Focusing on pediatric spay-neuter services is a key component of a successful community animal welfare improvement plan.
-
Pediatric spay-neuter can be conducted safely in a shelter or HQHVSN clinic setting.
