SCAA Education Program
Just as prevention is better than cure, education and awareness are the key to improving the long term health and welfare of companion animals in China and elsewhere.
From pet care basics to how the welfare of animals reflects the values of our community as a whole - how people, animals and our environment are interconnected, is the root of SCAA's education message.

Thanks to SCAA adopter and supporter Dr Angeline Lok, M.D. of Delta Health clinics, for her insightful lecture on pet and human health issues, zoonotic disease (diseases contagious between people and animals), and common misconceptions about the health risks associated with pet ownership.
