Animal Help Ukraine - Dr Ivan Zak from Galaxy Vets Foundation

As the war wages on in Ukraine, many veterinary professionals are eager to help both pets and colleagues in need. This week we’re joined by Dr. Ivan Zak as he offers ways to help through Animal Help Ukraine, a new initiative by the Galaxy Vets Foundation. Hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT welcome back to the Veterinary Viewfinder Ukrainian-born veterinarian, Dr. Ivan Zak (short for Zakharenkov), to discuss how you can help those in need through an important new initiative. Dr. Zak shares some of the experiences his family and employees are enduring in war-torn Ukraine, his efforts to relocate friends and family, and how veterinary professionals are helping animals in need despite risking their lives. He reviews how veterinarians and veterinary technicians/nurses can volunteer to provide free telemedicine assistance for desperate pet parents in Ukraine and how to donate financial aid. Viewfinders, if you can volunteer or donate, please do. We’d like to thank Dr. Ivan Zak and others who are helping those affected by the war in Ukraine. We all hope and pray for a quick and peaceful resolution. To learn more about Animal Help Ukraine from Galaxy Vets Foundation, visit: https://bit.ly/38lc1x0
