Hospital & Animal Care SOP’S & Department Manuals

Please refer to this guide/manual for all best practices about animal care policies and procedures. If you have any questions about the information within this manual, please ask a Vet Staff Member for assistance. All information in this manual is intended for internal use only, and should not be shared with others outside of this program. All Animal Care Volunteers must complete training to be allowed on our LMC Permit through the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). More training or a revisit of training throughout the year is possible. If this is necessary, it is a requirement for each volunteer to participate to remain on our permit.
