International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW)‘s Field Manual of Veterinary Standards for Dog and Cat Surgical Sterilization provides practical guidelines for surgical, anesthetic, and nursing procedures for sterilizing street dogs, considering the often challenging field conditions encountered in veterinary work. It aims to assist veterinary staff in prioritizing resources and ensuring adherence to minimal international standards. The manual highlights the role of veterinarians and nursing staff in promoting respect and empathy for animals, both through their actions and the care they provide. By following these standards, veterinarians can help improve the lives of animals and contribute to a kinder planet for all.
