Mythbusting Skin, Products, Techniques and Approaches to Skin Issues (Room German Suite)

09 Mar 19
8:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Speaker(s): Cliff Faver

In this 4-hour series, with each hour building upon the previous, Dr. Faver will discuss basic skin information, products, techniques and skin issues. Each hour will cover the following topics:

HOUR 1 –BASIC SKIN INFORMATION
Information overload? Good info vs. bad? How do we know the difference? Dr. Faver gives you the formula with science to know how to make informed choices for your clients’ pets’ needs and health. We will put the “why” in what you do.

HOUR 2 – PRODUCTS
Could my products or what I am doing actually be causing some of these skin issues? Is the information I hear or read truth, myth or advertising? Let’s get rid of some myths and streamline our job of picking the products you use. Disclaimer: We will be talking types or classes of products, not individual products or brands.

HOUR 3 – TECHNIQUES
Isn’t all shampoo and conditioner the same? I have been bathing dogs for 15 years and been doing just fine. If that is your thought process, I encourage you to come and learn new techniques, which based on the science, can make your job easier. Learn how to work smarter not harder while maximizing the benefits of your products and impressing your clients.

HOUR 4 – APPROACH TO SKIN ISSUES
Frustrated with all the dogs with skin issues? Frustrated with veterinarians just prescribing cortisone, antibiotics, diet change, 
and a shampoo and none of it ever seems to work? Come learn the “why” things don’t work and explore other ways of approaching the problem.
