Next, on to the American Legion Mall where our team met up with the downtown Indianapolis crowd and braved the windy afternoon.

The troops wrapped up the day with another full house at the Rathskeller. German cuisine hit the spot at the end of this busy day and Dr. Stich and Dr. Bowman brought down the rafters during their final presentation series.

We hope you’ve found your way to at least one of our events during the 2011 Road Show. If you’ve missed us…don’t fret.

Doggie Disneyland

August 2nd, 2011

Today’s public event was held at Wags Dog Park, which was dubbed “doggie Disneyland” by Dog Fancy,

The weather was beautiful and the turnout was incredible!

Though the Gemini is 110% improvement from Teresa (the old RV, for those who are new), even the best vehicles sometimes have issues. Thankfully, our trusty intern is always at the ready to climb to great heights and deal with whatever issue may come our way…

Minor RV malfunction aside, the Wags Dog Park was gorgeous and it was an incredibly successful event!

On air…almost.

August 2nd, 2011

Dear Anchors,

Thanks for having us on air amongst the celebrity news, national debt and inclement weather updates! (we get that parasites are…well…creepier than Michael Jackson in a Rain Storm).

Our favorite addition to your line up is this important message:

Parasite prevention is a serious issue for families and pets–all year round. There are a few things pet owners can do to help prevent and protect their pets and families from parasites throughout the year:

1.) See your veterinarian at least once each year and place your pet on parasite preventatives 365 days each year.
2.) Wash your hands after playing with pets.
3.) Pick up feces in your yard on a regular basis.

It seems simple…but these three easy steps can help pets, family and pet owners live a happier, healthier life, free of harmful parasites.

Finally…we’re officially on a mission toward 4,300 Facebook fans this week. Join us today for the latest information on parasite protection and for the chance to win some serious Road Show swag on August 4. We’ll meet you on facebook for more news and updates!

We’re Bringing CAPC Back…to Ohio

August 1st, 2011

The Road Show team enjoyed a warm welcome back to the Buckeye State at our first pitstop in Columbus, OH. The Road House restaurant had obviously heard of our legendary tour and prepared a special CAPC Road Show display for our arrival:

After filling the tanks, the team headed straight for Big Walnut Dog Park for a true Pup Party with some resident canine friends.

The evening concluded with riveting presentations from our hard-working parasitologists, Dr. Bowman and Dr. Stich. The crowd enjoyed an awesome steak dinner, delicious cheesecake for dessert and an evening full of prizes.

Columbus may have been a bit rainy today, but it was certainly good to us!

Getting Sideways in Pittsburgh

While most of our road show work looks like this:

Sometimes the Road Show team lets loose and takes time to explore the glorious destinations on our itinerary.

Last night the Road Show crew took in the breathtaking views from atop Pittsburgh’s historic cog railway.

The views were indescribable…

And the breezy city was almost more than our team could handle:

The Grand Stand at the Grand Concourse

July 31st, 2011

The CAPC Road Show made a stop in Pittsburgh tonight to bring the latest information on parasite prention and treatment to area veterinarians and technicians.

The event packed the house, with more than 80 veterinarians and technicians in attendance.

With such an eager audience at hand, we are proud to report that Cole rose to the occasion and mounted the speaker atop an antique fixture in the meeting space. “This event is completely booked, and we needed every available spot on the floor to seat this crowd,” Cole exclaimed. “It’s nothing. I’d gladly do it again in order to get our message out to the people of Pittsburg.”

Our acclaimed presenters were readily awaiting this assembly–feeling quite beautiful in their Sunday best.

Tomorrow the CAPC Road Show takes on Columbus. Stay tuned for more adventures from the road!
