2016 AVA Conference delegates advised to focus on improving communications to identify problem behaviours earlier – in people as well as pets.

Improving personal resilience, reversing the obesity crisis with plain language, acting on animal abuse suspicions…just some of the highly emotive yet practical presentations being delivered this week in Adelaide at the country’s biggest annual get-together of vets, nurses and others in the industry.

Of course the yearly talk-fest also has its fair share of fun events…culminating in a Gala Ball this evening…as AVA President Dr Robert Johnson reveals.
