ATHENS, Ga. – The University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine will host an exhibit by the American Animal Hospital Association that offers a behind-the-scenes look at a modern companion animal hospital. The exhibit will focus on sharing the latest ideas, technologies, products and practices that improve health care for pets.
A custom-built tractor-trailer that expands to create a 50-foot-by-23-foot veterinary hospital will be located behind the college on Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 11 and 12. A 20-minute multimedia presentation will describe clinical and technological advances in veterinary care for companion animals.
Although the exhibit is of primary interest to veterinarians, presentations to the public will touch on responsible pet ownership and ways in which veterinary care can help pets enjoy longer, healthier, more active lives. The college’s student chapter of AAHA is organizing arrangements for the exhibit’s visit.
Parking is available nearby at the Carlton Street Parking Deck.
