"Animals today are living longer, better quality lives and
veterinary professionals from all over the world come to VMX each
year to learn what's new and to perfect their skills and knowledge
so they can keep our pets and all animals healthy and happy," said
NAVC CEO Gene O'Neill. "While VMX is
known for providing the best continuing education from
