On December 15, 2014, the Cincinnati Veterinary Medical Association hosted its 21st annual Canine Corps Health Clinic at the UCBA Veterinary Technology Building.  According to the event organizer Dr. Susanna Hinkle Schwartz, "It was our best Canine Corps ever and ran very smoothly and efficiently.  The goal of this event is to provide prophylactic care and health screens to the canines who work so very hard to protect us—of course with the help of their human partners!" 

There were 49 working dogs and their handlers in attendance.  Veterinarian specialists were on hand to perform exams in their respective disciplines.  Dr. Pete Scheifele and his audiology team from the UC FETCHLAB again performed audiology examinations. 

Veterinary technician student volunteers from UC Blue Ash escorted each canine participant and kept things running smoothly.  Dr. Hinkle Schwartz organized the event with assistance from Dr. Jane Goecke and the staff at UCBA.

The UCBA Veterinary Technology Building served as the venue again this year.

Steven Reed, Ashley Goebel, Kristi Keirns, Phillip Merritt and Dr. Jane Goecke (not pictured), from the UCBA Vet Tech Program, volunteered  on January 24 at the Tri-County Mall, placing microchips in cats and dogs.   This event was a preview for the Tri-State’s largest animal adoption event, “My Furry Valentine,” which will be held at the Sharonville Convention Center 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday, February 14 and Sunday, February 15.
