Innovations TV Series to Feature American Association of Feline Practitioners, Airing via Discovery Channel

The American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) has just announced that they will be featured in an upcoming episode of Innovations with Ed Begley Jr., airing mid 2015 via The Discovery Channel. Dates and show times TBA.

The AAFP improves the health and welfare of cats by supporting high standards of practice, continuing education for veterinary professionals, and scientific investigation.
In this segment, Innovations will educate viewers about the AAFP’s dedication to advancing the field of feline care through supporting veterinary professionals in elevating the standard of care for cats.

The association also focuses on educating cat owners to increase their understanding of feline behavior, the value of veterinary care, and the need to actively participate in their cats’ individual healthcare plan. Viewers will learn about the AAFP’s Cat Friendly Practice Program (CFP) designation, which contains the tools necessary for veterinary professionals to integrate a feline perspective and embrace the standards needed to elevate care for cats.

“AAFP members consist of veterinary team members and top experts in the field of feline medicine. Our participation in the Innovations series will allow us to showcase how our members and the association are positively impacting and improving the quality of care for cats,” said Susan Little, DVM, DABVP (Feline), 2015 AAFP President.

The CFP program lays the groundwork and sets the standard for providing optimum feline care, and supports creating a cat-friendly environment that can reduce the stress that is associated with the visit for cats, clients, and even veterinary staff.

“Through publications, education, and thriving relationships with other organizations, the AAFP engages the veterinary community and its members by facilitating the exchange of scientific data and ideas to benefit cats,” said Ryann Watkin, producer for the series. “We look forward to providing this information to our viewers.”
