Come join us for this very special onsite event at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.

A welcome reception consisting of dinner and drinks will be provided in the Gladys Valley Hall.

Ample time will also be provided in small group training sessions for you to practice foreign body retrieval and our expert instructors will be by your side to assist and address any questions that arise.
