Education and Training

Education and training of specialists

The Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation's guiding principle is "Let's tackle the root of the problem". In addition to the optimisation of animal shelters and neutering campaigns in Switzerland and many other countries, the training and further education of veterinarians and animal protectionists is an important pillar of this philosophy: The SUST veterinary training courses are known for their quality and efficiency.
 
Animal welfare activists learn elementary principles for the handling and care of animals and for the management of animal shelters, veterinarians are brought up to date with the latest neutering techniques by internationally recognized colleagues and experience new and important things for the implementation of such campaigns.
 
This lays the foundation for further successful neutering campaigns to meet the quality standard demanded by SUST: This means that countless unwanted young animals do not have to be born and suffer in the first place. It has been proven that the overpopulation of dogs and cats can only be contained in the long term and animal-friendly by neutering campaigns.

This is what we have set ourselves the goal of our animal welfare work: the problem is being tackled at the root!

The pillar "basic and advanced training of specialists" includes

- Courses at the SUST Academy
- Veterinary training in different countries
- Animal welfare seminars in different countries
- ERFA events in Switzerland
- Internships for veterinarians, students and veterinary assistants in different countries
- Trainee programme for young Swiss veterinarians of SUST and Kompanima
- personal training of experts during SUST operations
- Co-financing of training centres

The crowdfunding was successful! Thank you very much!

April 2024

A sad story - with a happy ending thanks to you!
Thanks to your help with crowdfunding for equipment at the SUST Orphan Animal Hospital Moreni (RO), special cases can also be treated there.
Critically ill patients, severely emaciated stray animals or animals that are already
their short snouts - they all benefit from the anesthesia and oxygen equipment that has been in use since the crowdfunding was raised.
Especially "seniors" like this very sweet and gentle old lady now get a second chance in and around Moreni!
She was rescued by an animal-loving family who live in a village where the only "solution" for unwanted pets is to abandon them to other people - i.e. to themselves. However, this family takes this responsibility seriously and takes care of many such animals, but cannot afford more than food, affection and a dry, warm place.
Let alone an operation, which the dog - as you can see from the pictures - urgently needed.
Thanks to the anesthesia machine, our OAH team in Moreni was able to remove the old dog's tumor - under the mildest medical anesthesia for older patients - free of charge.
Thank you very much for giving us the opportunity with your donations to also help animals
who are not as well off as our pets to receive first-class, professional medical care!
