Thank You Hill’s Pet Nutrition! Hill’s Pet Nutrition has long been considered a leader in the realm of nutrition-based companion animal health and an ardent supporter of the veterinary health care team. On behalf of the entire organizing committee of the Academy of Veterinary Surgical Technicians (AVST), it therefore gives me great pleasure to thank a company as prestigious as Hill’s Pet Nutrition for their recent generous donation and support. Furthermore, we look forward to sharing the news about the generosity of Hill’s Pet Nutrition as well as the importance of nutrition for veterinary surgical patients with our future academy members and the entire veterinary community.
We anticipate working with Hill’s Pet Nutrition in the years to come as we ambitiously prepare to administer the first AVST certifying examination at the American College of Veterinary Surgeons Symposium in October 2012. Please check back regularly for the latest updates!
