Tails From China

This show is a bridge between East and West to dispel negative misconceptions about how the Chinese people feel about animals. Offering credible information about the rapidly improving position of dogs and cats in Chinese society, and in opposition to negative publicity by the Western media about isolated misfortunes befalling Chinese dogs and cats, the goal is to celebrate the evolution of the human-animal bond which is flourishing in the People's Republic of China,. where pet owners are eager to learn how to provide a happy, safe, healthy life for their pets. Mary Peng, CEO and Founder of the International Center for Veterinary Services in Beijing. Mary Peng's vision to offer world-class veterinary medicine and pet care won the 2014 Expat Life Award for ICVS as Beijing's Best Veterinary Clinic. Born in China, raised in Taiwan and then educated in the United States (with a graduate business degree from Columbia University) Mary Peng's decades of work on behalf of animal care says, "There is so much more we need to do to improve the lives for our beloved companion animals, and Tails from China will allow us to reach the international community around the world to educate and foster better understanding about China's culture and positive attitudes towards pets."

Red Carpet Treatment for Visiting Vets

Tails From China (08-10-2015) #4114: Want to have the professional adventure of a lifetime? The International Center for Veterinary Services in Beijing has a non-profit Veterinary Learning Exchange Program offering veterinarians (retired or in practice), vet techs and vet students a chance to live in Beijing for any length of time (housing will be arranged as well as all the travel paperwork) and work alongside licensed Chinese veterinarians (who are taught only large animal medicine), learning from them and showing them Western knowledge about companion animals and exotic pets. Mary Peng describes how ICVS rolls out the red carpet for visiting veterinary professionals for a mutually exciting exchange of ideas and knowledge.
