Join us on Thursday, September 8 for this information-packed webcast.
Saving Lives With Antibody Titer Tests
Leading vaccine researcher Dr. Ronald Schultz doesn't want to see any more
shelter pets die just because they've been exposed to a deadly infectious
disease. That's why he offered a shelter a chance to makea different
choice
during their next outbreak, allowing them to save the lives of 17 dogs.
How did they do it? With the use of a simple in-house antibody titer
test that revealed which pets had an immunity to the disease. Please
join Maddie's Fund® and Maddie's® Institute for a free webcast with

Tests" on Thursday, Sept. 8, 2011, at 9 PM Eastern/8 PM Central/7 PM
