news and events

VSEC strongly believes that part of our role in the Greater Philadelphia veterinary community is to provide educational opportunities for our referring practices and support for local community events.

These events include VSEC-hosted continuing education lectures for veterinarians and technicians, veterinary conferences and trade shows, referring veterinary practice events and community outreach events that are open to the public, such as pet fairs, dog shows and fundraising events.

Below is a list of upcoming events in which VSEC participates. Hope to see you there and look forward to working together to support our local veterinary community.
