On Sunday, April 26, several sophomores in the RWC Veterinary Technology Program participated in the FreeStore/FoodBank Pet Health Day. This event is held twice a year at the FreeStore Foodbank in downtown Cincinnati on Liberty Street. RWC students Amanda Karr, Erica Marburger, Amy Klein, and Cristal McCray teamed up with local veterinarians to provide free services in the form of exams, vaccinations, parasite control, and medication for quick fix problems.
This event is very important to the pet-owning members of the Over the Rhine community, who often can’t afford healthcare for their pets. Approximately 200 pets got examined and vaccinated at this year’s event.
