What are the veterinary costs for the Iqaluit animals?
In the early days of the program, we provided some information for the Iqaluit volunteers to allow them to do some basic health and temperament assessment before transferring dogs. This means that the vast majority of dogs arrive healthy and do not require any unusual medical intervention. When medical procedures are required, our in-house clinic means we do not have to assume any additional veterinary bills, though, of course there are costs associated with staff time and supplies.
