FM. University of Guelph, Ontario Veterinary College Teaching Hospital
Dear Ms. Snider,
Thank you for your recent comments regarding the discontinuation of our hip
certification
program. We have experienced a large number of emails expressing concern
about the
termination of our program and we have looked carefully for a feasible way
to maintain this
service. While our original intention was to refocus our resources towards
the important task
of teaching veterinary students and residents, we did not anticipate the
impact this decision
would have for many dog owners and breeders.
Due to your constructive feedback, a re-evaluation of our resources and
personnel has
occurred. The result is a full reinstatement of the hip certification
program here at OVC
with interruption of any kind. In order to make this possible, there is a
fee increase
planned that will be effective February 1, 2008. The new fee will be $60.00
per dog (hips and
elbows submitted together, just hips, or just elbows.) This fee increase
reflects professional
fees, maintenance of the website, mailing, and associated administrative
tasks. We are
extremely pleased to continue offering expert hip certification performed by
a board certified
radiologist for our valued clientele.
We sincerely regret that our actions to date have led to extensive concern
among breeders
and owners and wish to emphasize our commitment to health and welfare of
companion
animals. Your ongoing support is appreciated and we thank you for your
patronage.
Sincerely
Heather Chalmers, DVM,Dipl ACVR Stephanie Nykamp, DVM, Dipl.ACVR
Assistant Professor, Radiology Assistant Professor,
Radiology
