A MESSAGE FROM THE NAVC PRESIDENT I remember attending my first NAVC Conference back in the 1990s as a speaker. I was struck by the positive atmosphere from the moment I walked into the venue. It was very bright, cheerful and welcoming. The sheer volume of information available, and the size of the event, was kind of overwhelming, but also very exciting. Over the years, the program has always been the core of this event. As I’ve transitioned from a speaker to an NAVC Board member and now President, I’ve personally seen our team embrace attendee feedback and strive to present the most incredible, cutting-edge program each year. No detail is too small when it comes to making sure the Conference is a complete success for you. Now we fast-forward 20 years to the NAVC Conference 2016… supporting “What Moves You” to be in the veterinary profession. What excites me for this year are the variety of topics and the volume of choices. There’s truly something for everyone. You won’t leave disappointed in your ability to learn, grow, connect with others and also be entertained. The NAVC is taking the profession beyond medicine and clinical skills. We’re incorporating programs that present bold new ideas, such as our General Session and unique IGNITE! talks. I’m super excited about our Zoobiquity presentations as well, because public health is critical to people and animals. Plus, where else can you rock with Sheryl Crow in a private audience of your peers? Welcome!
Christine Navarre, DVM, MS, DACVIM (LAIM) President 2015 - 2016
NAVC CONFERENCE 2017 AND BEYOND: Big news! Starting next year, the NAVC will host our annual NAVC Conference at the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) in Orlando, Florida. Mark your calendar for the first OCCC dates: February 4-8, 2017. Here’s why this move will be great for you: n All sessions in one centralized location: It’s easier to attend all the sessions you want, from lectures to luncheons, Hands-on Laboratories to Masterclasses and more. And, we’ll be adding more programs to cover a broader range of disciplines and interest. n
One Exhibit Hall: See everything in one place, from hundreds of companies. This gives you more time to browse new technologies and other solutions, try them out, ask questions and invest in the best for your practice.
n
Major hotels within walking distance: You’ll find top-notch amenities for relaxing, dining and networking at the Hilton Orlando, the Hyatt Regency: Orlando and the Rosen Centre Hotel - all connected by skybridges to the OCCC.
n
Restaurants and shopping within walking distance
n
Plenty of space to experience the best of our Conference and all that Orlando offers: The OCCC is the second largest convention center facility in America. Its location is central to the city’s most exciting attractions for entertainment, dining, shopping and outdoor activities.
You’ll be hearing much more about this big move as we lead up to the NAVC Conference 2017.

2016 WHAT MOVES YOU?
A MESSAGE FROM THE NAVC CEO This year’s “What Moves You?” theme is all about supporting the reasons you work in the veterinary profession. Everything here is designed to provide you with the best Conference experience imaginable. This is our last year in this venue, and we want to thank you for your many years of support as we’ve grown and expanded within these three properties to bring you an increasing number of opportunities. Speaking of moves…. while we’ll miss this venue, our conference is only going to get better as we make our big transition to the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) in Orlando, starting in 2017. We invite you to follow us and enjoy a new NAVC Conference where everything is in one centralized location. This week, you’ll hear about three major initiatives the NAVC has embarked upon to enrich your career path as well as the animal health profession. The Veterinary Innovation Council (VIC) is an exciting new industry-wide organization ready to work collaboratively to focus on positive change. The NAVC Industry Services Division, which we tested over the past year, has officially launched to offer association management, learning symposia and consulting services specifically to the veterinary industry. And, this week we’re launching Today’s Veterinary Technician as a new Official Journal of the NAVC, joining Today’s Veterinary Practice and we know you’ll like it as much as we do! In all these ways, we’re working harder to serve you more effectively. If you have a comment, suggestion or need, don’t hesitate to contact me personally at TBohn@NAVC.com or stop anyone here wearing an NAVC shirt.
Thomas M. Bohn, MBA, CAE NAVC Chief Executive Officer

You’re sure to find topics of personal interest, as well as courses for your entire veterinary team. This NAVC Conference 2016 Scientific Program replaces any earlier versions posted on NAVC.com, delivered by mail or sent by email. Grid wall displays are located at the Gaylord and the Marriott.

CONFERENCE NAME BADGE
To record CE attendance, tap your conference name badge with the door monitor each time you enter a session. We recommend you also document each CE session you attend on the 2016 Record of Participation in the CE Programs form.
RACE-APPROVED CE
The NAVC Conference 2016 courses meet the requirements for CE credit in jurisdictions that recognize AAVSB RACE approval.* PLEASE NOTE: Certificate of Attendance and number of veterinary CE hours you receive will be based on your registration type (Veterinarian, Veterinary Technicians, Practice Manager, etc). Some boards have limitations on the hours accepted in certain categories or restrictions on methods of delivery for CE as well as specific procedures for certification and documentation of attendance. Compliance is the responsibility of the registrant.
HOW VETERINARY CE CALCULATION WORKS 75 minute session = 1.5 CE credit hours 50 minute session = 1 CE credit hour 20 minute session = 0.5 CE credit hour 15 minute session = 0.25 CE credit hour
CE credits for Hands-on Laboratories, Meet the Professor Luncheons and Masterclasses are calculated on the number of hours each entails. It is the attendees’ responsibility to track and report their earned CE hours to the appropriate licensing boards.
DOCUMENTATION
Procedures for certification and documentation of attendance are determined by the individual state board. Compliance with these policies is the responsibility of the registrant. We recommend that you keep a handwritten record of your session attendance to compare with the copy you can email or print at the CE Centers during the Conference.
*RACE-approved. Our programs are reviewed and certified by the American Association of Veterinary State Boards Registry of Continuing Education (AAVSB RACE), a national clearinghouse for the approval of continuing education providers and their programs. Providers voluntarily apply to the RACE program and agree to abide by the RACE Standards. AAVSB does not solicit participation in the RACE program.

PUPPIES @ 8 WEEKS / 4 lbs.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: NexGard is for use in dogs only. The most frequently reported adverse reactions included vomiting, dry/flaky skin, diarrhea, lethargy, and lack of appetite. The safe use of NexGard in pregnant, breeding, or lactating dogs has not been evaluated. Use with caution in dogs with a history of seizures. For more information, see full prescribing information or visit www.NexGardForDogs.com.
HEARTWORMS
HOOKWORMS/ ROUNDWORMS
PUPPIES @ 6 WEEKS
IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATION: HEARTGARD Plus is well tolerated. All dogs should be tested for heartworm infection before starting a preventive program. Following the use of HEARTGARD Plus, digestive and neurological side effects have rarely been reported. For more information, see full prescribing information or visit www.HEARTGARD.com.
CAUTION: Federal (USA) law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. Description: NexGard® (afoxolaner) is available in four sizes of beef-flavored, soft chewables for oral administration to dogs and puppies according to their weight. Each chewable is formulated to provide a minimum afoxolaner dosage of 1.14 mg/lb (2.5 mg/kg). Afoxolaner has the chemical composition 1-Naphthalenecarboxamide, 4-[5- [3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]-4, 5-dihydro-5(trifluoromethyl)-3-isoxazolyl]-N-[2-oxo-2-[(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)amino]ethyl. Indications: NexGard kills adult fleas and is indicated for the treatment and prevention of flea infestations (Ctenocephalides felis), and the treatment and control of Black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis), American Dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis), Lone Star tick (Amblyomma americanum), and Brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) infestations in dogs and puppies 8 weeks of age and older, weighing 4 pounds of body weight or greater, for one month. Dosage and Administration: NexGard is given orally once a month, at the minimum dosage of 1.14 mg/lb (2.5 mg/kg). Dosing Schedule: Body Weight 4.0 to 10.0 lbs. 10.1 to 24.0 lbs. 24.1 to 60.0 lbs. 60.1 to 121.0 lbs. Over 121.0 lbs.
Afoxolaner Per Chewables Chewable (mg) Administered 11.3 One 28.3 One 68 One 136 One Administer the appropriate combination of chewables
NexGard can be administered with or without food. Care should be taken that the dog consumes the complete dose, and treated animals should be observed for a few minutes to ensure that part of the dose is not lost or refused. If it is suspected that any of the dose has been lost or if vomiting occurs within two hours of administration, redose with another full dose. If a dose is missed, administer NexGard and resume a monthly dosing schedule. Flea Treatment and Prevention: Treatment with NexGard may begin at any time of the year. In areas where fleas are common year-round, monthly treatment with NexGard should continue the entire year without interruption. To minimize the likelihood of flea reinfestation, it is important to treat all animals within a household with an approved flea control product. Tick Treatment and Control: Treatment with NexGard may begin at any time of the year (see Effectiveness). Contraindications: There are no known contraindications for the use of NexGard. Warnings: Not for use in humans. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children. In case of accidental ingestion, contact a physician immediately. Precautions: The safe use of NexGard in breeding, pregnant or lactating dogs has not been evaluated. Use with caution in dogs with a history of seizures (see Adverse Reactions). Adverse Reactions: In a well-controlled US field study, which included a total of 333 households and 615 treated dogs (415 administered afoxolaner; 200 administered active control), no serious adverse reactions were observed with NexGard. Over the 90-day study period, all observations of potential adverse reactions were recorded. The most frequent reactions reported at an incidence of > 1% within any of the three months of observations are presented in the following table. The most frequently reported adverse reaction was vomiting. The occurrence of vomiting was generally self-limiting and of short duration and tended to decrease with subsequent doses in both groups. Five treated dogs experienced anorexia during the study, and two of those dogs experienced anorexia with the first dose but not subsequent doses. Table 1: Dogs With Adverse Reactions.

1 Number of dogs in the afoxolaner treatment group with the identified abnormality. 2 Number of dogs in the control group with the identified abnormality. In the US field study, one dog with a history of seizures experienced a seizure on the same day after receiving the first dose and on the same day after receiving the second dose of NexGard. This dog experienced a third seizure one week after receiving the third dose. The dog remained enrolled and completed the study. Another dog with a history of seizures had a seizure 19 days after the third dose of NexGard. The dog remained enrolled and completed the study. A third dog with a history of seizures received NexGard and experienced no seizures throughout the study. To report suspected adverse events, for technical assistance or to obtain a copy of the MSDS, contact Merial at 1-888-6374251 or www.merial.com/NexGard. For additional information about adverse drug experience reporting for animal drugs, contact FDA at 1-888-FDA-VETS or online at http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/SafetyHealth. Mode of Action: Afoxolaner is a member of the isoxazoline family, shown to bind at a binding site to inhibit insect and acarine ligand-gated chloride channels, in particular those gated by the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), thereby blocking pre- and post-synaptic transfer of chloride ions across cell membranes. Prolonged afoxolaner-induced hyperexcitation results in uncontrolled activity of the central nervous system and death of insects and acarines. The selective toxicity of afoxolaner between insects and acarines and mammals may be inferred by the differential sensitivity of the insects and acarines’ GABA receptors versus mammalian GABA receptors. Effectiveness: In a well-controlled laboratory study, NexGard began to kill fleas four hours after initial administration and demonstrated >99% effectiveness at eight hours. In a separate well-controlled laboratory study, NexGard demonstrated 100% effectiveness against adult fleas 24 hours post-infestation for 35 days, and was ≥ 93% effective at 12 hours post-infestation through Day 21, and on Day 35. On Day 28, NexGard was 81.1% effective 12 hours post-infestation. Dogs in both the treated and control groups that were infested with fleas on Day -1 generated flea eggs at 12- and 24-hours post-treatment (0-11 eggs and 1-17 eggs in the NexGard treated dogs, and 4-90 eggs and 0-118 eggs in the control dogs, at 12- and 24-hours, respectively). At subsequent evaluations post-infestation, fleas from dogs in the treated group were essentially unable to produce any eggs (0-1 eggs) while fleas from dogs in the control group continued to produce eggs (1-141 eggs). In a 90-day US field study conducted in households with existing flea infestations of varying severity, the effectiveness of NexGard against fleas on the Day 30, 60 and 90 visits compared with baseline was 98.0%, 99.7%, and 99.9%, respectively. Collectively, the data from the three studies (two laboratory and one field) demonstrate that NexGard kills fleas before they can lay eggs, thus preventing subsequent flea infestations after the start of treatment of existing flea infestations. In well-controlled laboratory studies, NexGard demonstrated >97% effectiveness against Dermacentor variabilis, >94% effectiveness against Ixodes scapularis, and >93% effectiveness against Rhipicephalus sanguineus, 48 hours post-infestation for 30 days. At 72 hours post-infestation, NexGard demonstrated >97% effectiveness against Amblyomma americanum for 30 days. Animal Safety: In a margin of safety study, NexGard was administered orally to 8 to 9-week-old Beagle puppies at 1, 3, and 5 times the maximum exposure dose (6.3 mg/kg) for three treatments every 28 days, followed by three treatments every 14 days, for a total of six treatments. Dogs in the control group were sham-dosed. There were no clinically-relevant effects related to treatment on physical examination, body weight, food consumption, clinical pathology (hematology, clinical chemistries, or coagulation tests), gross pathology, histopathology or organ weights. Vomiting occurred throughout the study, with a similar incidence in the treated and control groups, including one dog in the 5x group that vomited four hours after treatment. In a well-controlled field study, NexGard was used concomitantly with other medications, such as vaccines, anthelmintics, antibiotics (including topicals), steroids, NSAIDS, anesthetics, and antihistamines. No adverse reactions were observed from the concomitant use of NexGard with other medications. Storage Information: Store at or below 30°C (86°F) with excursions permitted up to 40°C (104°F). How Supplied: NexGard is available in four sizes of beef-flavored soft chewables: 11.3, 28.3, 68 or 136 mg afoxolaner. Each chewable size is available in color-coded packages of 1, 3 or 6 beef-flavored chewables.

chewables
CAUTION: Federal (U.S.A.) law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. INDICATIONS: For use in dogs to prevent canine heartworm disease by eliminating the tissue stage of heartworm larvae (Dirofilaria immitis) for a month (30 days) after infection and for the treatment and control of ascarids (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina) and hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum, Uncinaria stenocephala, Ancylostoma braziliense). DOSAGE: HEARTGARD® Plus (ivermectin/pyrantel) should be administered orally at monthly intervals at the recommended minimum dose level of 6 mcg of ivermectin per kilogram (2.72 mcg/lb) and 5 mg of pyrantel (as pamoate salt) per kg (2.27 mg/lb) of body weight. The recommended dosing schedule for prevention of canine heartworm disease and for the treatment and control of ascarids and hookworms is as follows: Dog Chewables Ivermectin Pyrantel Weight Per Month Content Content Up to 25 lb 26 to 50 lb 51 to 100 lb
1 1 1
68 mcg 136 mcg 272 mcg
57 mg 114 mg 227 mg
Color Coding 0n Foil Backing and Carton Blue Green Brown
HEARTGARD Plus is recommended for dogs 6 weeks of age and older. For dogs over 100 lb use the appropriate combination of these chewables. ADMINISTRATION: Remove only one chewable at a time from the foil-backed blister card. Return the card with the remaining chewables to its box to protect the product from light. Because most dogs find HEARTGARD Plus palatable, the product can be offered to the dog by hand. Alternatively, it may be added intact to a small amount of dog food.The chewable should be administered in a manner that encourages the dog to chew, rather than to swallow without chewing. Chewables may be broken into pieces and fed to dogs that normally swallow treats whole. Care should be taken that the dog consumes the complete dose, and treated animals should be observed for a few minutes after administration to ensure that part of the dose is not lost or rejected. If it is suspected that any of the dose has been lost, redosing is recommended. HEARTGARD Plus should be given at monthly intervals during the period of the year when mosquitoes (vectors), potentially carrying infective heartworm larvae, are active. The initial dose must be given within a month (30 days) after the dog’s first exposure to mosquitoes. The final dose must be given within a month (30 days) after the dog’s last exposure to mosquitoes. When replacing another heartworm preventive product in a heartworm disease preventive program, the first dose of HEARTGARD Plus must be given within a month (30 days) of the last dose of the former medication. If the interval between doses exceeds a month (30 days), the efficacy of ivermectin can be reduced. Therefore, for optimal performance, the chewable must be given once a month on or about the same day of the month. If treatment is delayed, whether by a few days or many, immediate treatment with HEARTGARD Plus and resumption of the recommended dosing regimen will minimize the opportunity for the development of adult heartworms. Monthly treatment with HEARTGARD Plus also provides effective treatment and control of ascarids (T. canis, T. leonina) and hookworms (A. caninum, U. stenocephala, A. braziliense). Clients should be advised of measures to be taken to prevent reinfection with intestinal parasites. EFFICACY: HEARTGARD Plus Chewables, given orally using the recommended dose and regimen, are effective against the tissue larval stage of D.immitis for a month (30 days) after infection and, as a result, prevent the development of the adult stage. HEARTGARD Plus Chewables are also effective against canine ascarids (T. canis, T. leonina) and hookworms (A. caninum, U. stenocephala, A. braziliense). ACCEPTABILITY: In acceptability and field trials, HEARTGARD Plus was shown to be an acceptable oral dosage form that was consumed at first offering by the majority of dogs. PRECAUTIONS: All dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection before starting treatment with HEARTGARD Plus which is not effective against adult D. immitis. Infected dogs must be treated to remove adult heartworms and microfilariae before initiating a program with HEARTGARD Plus. While some microfilariae may be killed by the ivermectin in HEARTGARD Plus at the recommended dose level, HEARTGARD Plus is not effective for microfilariae clearance. A mild hypersensitivity-type reaction, presumably due to dead or dying microfilariae and particularly involving a transient diarrhea, has been observed in clinical trials with ivermectin alone after treatment of some dogs that have circulating microfilariae. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children. In case of ingestion by humans, clients should be advised to contact a physician immediately. Physicians may contact a Poison Control Center for advice concerning cases of ingestion by humans. Store between 68°F - 77°F (20°C - 25°C). Excursions between 59°F - 86°F (15°C - 30°C) are permitted. Protect product from light. ADVERSE REACTIONS: In clinical field trials with HEARTGARD Plus, vomiting or diarrhea within 24 hours of dosing was rarely observed (1.1% of administered doses). The following adverse reactions have been reported following the use of HEARTGARD: Depression/lethargy, vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, mydriasis, ataxia, staggering, convulsions and hypersalivation. SAFETY: HEARTGARD Plus has been shown to be bioequivalent to HEARTGARD, with respect to the bioavailability of ivermectin. The dose regimens of HEARTGARD Plus and HEARTGARD are the same with regard to ivermectin (6 mcg/kg). Studies with ivermectin indicate that certain dogs of the Collie breed are more sensitive to the effects of ivermectin administered at elevated dose levels (more than 16 times the target use level) than dogs of other breeds. At elevated doses, sensitive dogs showed adverse reactions which included mydriasis, depression, ataxia, tremors, drooling, paresis, recumbency, excitability, stupor, coma and death. HEARTGARD demonstrated no signs of toxicity at 10 times the recommended dose (60 mcg/kg) in sensitive Collies. Results of these trials and bioequivalency studies, support the safety of HEARTGARD products in dogs, including Collies, when used as recommended. HEARTGARD Plus has shown a wide margin of safety at the recommended dose level in dogs, including pregnant or breeding bitches, stud dogs and puppies aged 6 or more weeks. In clinical trials, many commonly used flea collars, dips, shampoos, anthelmintics, antibiotics, vaccines and steroid preparations have been administered with HEARTGARD Plus in a heartworm disease prevention program. In one trial, where some pups had parvovirus, there was a marginal reduction in efficacy against intestinal nematodes, possibly due to a change in intestinal transit time. HOW SUPPLIED: HEARTGARD Plus is available in three dosage strengths (See DOSAGE section) for dogs of different weights. Each strength comes in convenient cartons of 6 and 12 chewables. For customer service, please contact Merial at 1-888-637-4251.

Our naturally occurring microorganisms (bacteria) are specifically adapted to work in combination with our natural enzymes to actually “eat” the uric acid crystals, in addition to remediating the other components of urine. Effectively removing these crystals and all the components of urine instead of simply masking them is what distinguishes Urine Off® from the rest of the products. Urine Off® has a pleasant citrus fragrance, and that disappears soon after application. Urine Off®, now distributed in 84 countries, is USDA Certified Bio-Preferred/bio-based and Bio-Pro Research leads the world in USDA Bio-Preferred certifications.
