Pet Overpopulation in the US
• Experts believe that there are about the same number of un-owned animals as owned – i.e. about 78.2 million
dogs & 86.5 million cats
• Cat – 2 litters/year x 4-6 kittens (12, 66, 2021, 3822, 12,680)
• Dog – 1 litter/year x 4-6 puppies
One way to limit overpopulation is by spaying and neutering animals that are adopted from shelters.

The Unmet Need
• Between 4 and 7 million animals are presented to animal shelters every year* – <2% of cats & 15-20% of
dogs are returned to their owners
– 60% of dogs and 70% of cats are ultimately euthanized
*Data from ASPCA

Challenge for Shelters
• To manage the number of animals that are presented for care with a limited budget
![Page 8: Integrated Surgical Training: Academia and Shelters and neal... · Habit 4: Think Win-Win* Need for spaying & neutering shelter animals . Need for teaching basic surgical skills to](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040715/5e1cc4f844baf032ad5b422a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine
• Students perform spays and neuters on (1-3) shelter animals during their third year
• 4th year students perform (0-2) spays and neuters on client-owned animals
![Page 9: Integrated Surgical Training: Academia and Shelters and neal... · Habit 4: Think Win-Win* Need for spaying & neutering shelter animals . Need for teaching basic surgical skills to](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040715/5e1cc4f844baf032ad5b422a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Unmet Need in Veterinary Education
• Students must have entry-level proficiencies when they graduate – Spays and neuters are the most commonly
performed procedures in veterinary medicineŦ,^
• Challenges in Veterinary Colleges
– Class size and case load – Budget, regulatory & animal welfare concerns – Balancing teaching, research, and service

Surgical Skills
• A recent survey identified 21 surgical skills where proficiency is expected of entry-level graduates*
*JAVMA 240(11):1345-1354, 2012

Benefits of Shelter Teaching*
• Students are able to practice clinical skills such as physical examination, venipuncture, administration & monitoring of anesthesia, and surgical skills in a less “intense” environment
• Students become aware of shelter issues & are more likely to volunteer to assist upon graduation

Our Inspiration
• The Mississippi State University Mobile Veterinary Clinic – 38 foot gooseneck trailer – On road 4 days/week • Staffed w/ 1 faculty, 1 shelter
med resident, 1 veterinary technician
• 3 students • 2 part-time students who
clean & restock the trailer each night

What the Students LIKE
• “having the stress of being responsible, but also having the safety net of an experienced teacher available at all times”
• “learning different techniques for performing spays and neuters.”
• “learning from an “error” and figuring out how to overcome it”
• “exposure to shelters” and “recognizing how important this program is to them”

DVM Response “Priority 4 Paws has relieved some of the financial burden on
our clinic by decreasing the number of at or below cost sterilizations, while still encouraging new adoptions to visit
a veterinarian … This is a win-win situation. I am glad Purdue is giving its students the opportunity to gain
surgical experience. In my experience, veterinary school was a controlled environment that gave me the freedom to make mistakes but I was not always given the opportunity
to ‘hold the scalpel’ in the teaching hospital. Allowing students to practice on shelter animals gives the
students experience and makes the animals more adoptable to the public. Priority 4 Paws will produce
Purdue graduates who will be more confident to serve the people and pets of Indiana.”
