Vetnews | June 2020 21 CVC News I CVC Nuus In April 2020, dog feeding stations were setup in front of the houses of some the Cornerstone Vet Practice staff living in the Nkqubela Community. This initiative is the work of Dr Helen Moore from Cornerstone Vet that runs the John Moore Animal Welfare CVC. Our lower-income communities are hardest hit by the COVID-19 lockdown regulations and this sponsorship is a great relief to allow CVCS to continue their good work. Dark HorseWheels has sponsored funds for SAVA-CVC to purchase hand sanitiser stands which work by means of a foot pedal. This device will support the new policies that CVCs are putting in place to provide treatments in a safe and clean environment. SAVA-CVC has also launched our “Adopt a COVID-19 Pet Project” where the public can look at profiles of pets requiring temporary assistancewith food, deworming, as well as tick and flea treatments due to their owner’s income being affected by COVID-19. Please go to our Facebook page “Community Veterinary Clinics of SA Veterinary Association” to see our listed pets! Next month we will have more photos and stories of the work CVCSs are doing during this difficult times! v Contact Details: Claudia Cloete (Director & CVC Manager) cvcmanager@sava.co.za
