Veterinary Assisting Academy
Pawsitive Action Foundation and our Medical
Director, Dr. Matt Walter DVM are working in
conjunction with the Harmony High School Veterinary
Assisting Program.
The program's goal is to prepare students for
certification as a Veterinary Assistant and to provide
a good foundation to those interested in Veterinary
and or medical careers.
The program has outstanding facilities including:
indoor cat and dog kennels as well as large-dog
outdoor kennels. The animal lab is equipped with
three bathing tubs, nine grooming tables, a wet lab
and a fully functional surgery room. With Dr. Walter's
expertise and other DVM's the students have the
opportunity to be directly involved in pre and post
surgical procedures through the Veterinary care and
spay/neuter program. This brings the classroom
learning to life and gives students the skills and
experience needed to further their education.
Surgical procedures are only performed by licensed
Veterinarians.
Dr. Mat Walter, DVM has been in private practice for
over 10 years. Dr. Walter has been contracted by
Osceola Animal Control for over six years and has
conducted 1,500 to 2,000 spay/neuters per year. All of
our DVM's are licensed and insured.
