Canadian Vet newsmagazine was launched in 2005 to report on new, relevant and practical information provided by the experts at veterinary conferences – bringing this information directly to the desktops of veterinarians across the country who were unable to attend the conferences! We continue to receive enthusiastic feedback from veterinarians who tell us that reading Canadian Vet is interesting and useful to their practice, and that they appreciate having a Canadian-focused newsmagazine.
In 2009, Canadian Vet Tech was launched. A newsmagazine for registered veterinary technicians, this magazine brings expert information presented at conferences to vet techs. As well, each issue includes 3 Continuing Education (CE) quizzes approved for credit by all provincial accrediting associations in Canada.
In 2010, our first issue of Practitioner's Update journal for veterinarians was published. This special focus journal provides detailed information on specific animal health conditions, as conveyed by expert veterinarians and researchers.
In 2011, to make CE quiz completion even more efficient, we launched an on-line quiz completion service. Quiz marks are provided, for submission to the tech association for CE credits. One CE credit is awarded for each successfully completed Ce quiz
2014 saw the launch of Canadian Vet Link, a monthly e-newsletter for veterinarians and all members of the animal healthcare team! Bringing timely information and links to direct sources, the e-newsletter reports on new treatment protocols in veterinary medicine, disease control, animal welfare, veterinary research in Canada, etc.
In 2018, Canadian Vet and Canadian Vet Tech newsmagazines were merged into Canadian Vet Practice, a newsmagazine for the entire veterinary team!
