Kempen Kembiri, Bentong II


IVSA and UPM vet students

Kempen Kembiri was held in JPH Clinic, Bentong on the 24th of November 2007. This time round, 9 dogs and 5 cats were spayed on this day. This campaign was made extra special, by having volunteers from international vet students, who were also here for the IVSA Symposium (International Veterinary Students' Association) organised by the students in UPM.

The vet students helped to examine the animals before the surgery, and monitor the condition of the animals until it recovered from the surgery. It was definitely is an eye opener for them so see the need for veterinary services in a small town such as this. They definitely enjoyed the interaction between the local vets and local pet owners.

The pet owners were also given a small talk on Responsible Pet Ownership (RPO) by our very capable SPCA staff, Priscilla. Each pet owner also took back with them goody bags of pet food and treats sponsored by Pedigree and Eukanuba.

A couple of volunteer vets and a couple more from UPM did the anaesthesia and neutering. They also guided some of the students on examination and monitoring. Lots of thanks to them for making this trip possible! Transferring a dog to the recovery area

Map to PetCare Day in Rawang


Map to Rawang from KL.

Easier to use the MRR2. If you're coming from Ampang/SPCA, head towards Batu Caves. After Batu Caves, turn off at the junction with signboard towards Ipoh. You'll come to a roundabout, turn at 3 o'clock, and follow the signs toward Ipoh.

Map in Rawang.

If you're coming from the MRR2, as soon as you reach Rawang, there'll be many shop lots on the left and right of the road (but before you reach the main town). Keep left, there'll be a Petronas on the left. After the Petronas, turn left. There's a big MCA building at the junction and a small signboard (not very obvious) saying "Taman Jati". Go straight in until you come to a field and turn left. You'll reach the Dewan Serbaguna Batu 17.

If you get lost, just ask around for directions to Taman Jati or the MCA.
