The Niagara Frontier Veterinary Society was established in WNY in 1967 to:
| • |
Promote public awareness and understanding of veterinary services and
pet care |
| • |
To offer a timely source of information on small animal health topics of concern
to the community |
| • |
Work cooperatively with other animal welfare and health organizations to control
and prevent disease |
| • |
Advance understanding and interest in the veterinary profession among
young people |
| • |
Create a dialogue among practitioners fostering a spirit of cooperation and discussion of opportunities and challenges facing local veterinary professionals. |
To accomplish its objectives the Society has numerous programs and offers advice to those seeking to learn about proper pet care. Annually the NFVS donates more than a quarter of a million dollars in free and reduced cost services to the community through such vehicles as the free rabies clinics, low-cost spay and neuter programs, and its Free First Exam program through the Erie & Niagara County SPCAs and area pet stores.
