CVMA Watchdog is for every member of the veterinary team. Practice owners, associates, RVTs, and veterinary assistants all have a role in providing a safe and healthy environment for staff, clients, and patients. CVMA Watchdog provides information, education, and solutions to avoid common workplace injuries, promote a healthy work environment, and navigate the maze of government agencies that regulate veterinary medicine.

CVMA Watchdog is a new benefit for CVMA members and is generously underwritten by a grant from the Veterinary Insurance Services Company (VISC).
