Good morning all. I recently inquired if there was anything we could do to help the companion animals affected by the war in Israel and the veterinarians caring for them. The veterinarian who is president of the Israel Companion Animal Veterinary Association (one of our WSAVA member organizations) has relayed to me that they are in dire need of monetary help as the veterinarians are donating care and running out of funds. I have posted their new donation page if you would like to help. Thank you so much for your consideration 💙
