Free Lecture Series at Bangor Humane Society


About three years ago, a case of two biological litter mates came into Mannerly Mutts Dog Training for sudden aggression at age 8. These are the Springer sisters that I sometimes refer to, Kate and Hannah, and ended up being a great success story. Some of that success was due to their owners finding a new veterinarian, Dr. Mark Hanks of Kindred Spirits Veterinary Hospital. He found the infected teeth, bladder, and ears that their old vet wouldn't.
Recently I found out that Dr Hanks is actually giving a free lecture series at Bangor Humane Society.

May--Vaccines: Both Sides of the Story Vaccines are a hot topic over the past decade. But who is right? Explore both sides of the argument for and against vaccines in your pet

June--Losing a Pet Grief over a pet's passing is overwhelming for many. In our society some family and friends get it, and some don't. Extra rotatable discussion for the group's experience with pet loss. The doctor comes with practical tips for honoring your very special friend.

July--Virtual SurgerySpay and neuter. What exactly happened to my pet anyway? Besides being a great idea to decrease our pet overpopulation problem and extend your pet's life, modern anesthetics and pain relieving techniques make this routine procedure a breeze for most pets. Dr. Hanks will stay and spay and neuter pets after the lecture and invites you to watch.
