What is Companion Animal Tools?
Companion Animal Tools is the gateway for you to unlock the power of your data and improve your knowledge of the companion animals that you serve. We provide the online and professional resources to collect, manage, visualize, and report your data using the highest scientific standards. See your data in real-time and visualize your results based on your needs and questions.
What type of projects are you talking about?
Companion Animal Tools is suited for a number of projects that undertaken by companion animal practitioners. For example, studies of free-roaming cats and dogs may want to estimate the total population size, population distribution, relationships to environmental and socio-economic attributes, or estimate changes in sterilization rates across a target area. For owned cats and dogs, you might ask about the source of companion animal acquisition, attributes of owners and non-owners of companion animals, or access to veterinary or animal shelter services. For shelter animals, you might inquire about the intake locations and outcome locations of animals moving through your shelter, turnover time, and optimal adoption strategies. All of these projects require data collection to inform the solutions.
What kind of organizations would use Companion Animal Tools?
Organizations such as colony caretakers, TNR practitioners, animal shelters, high capacity spay-neuter programs, animal welfare agencies, and shelter medicine groups might benefit from our services. If those descriptions do not include your organization, be in touch so we can talk about your needs and how we might help.
I still don't understand. Can you show me what Companion Animal Tools does?
You bet. Have a look at our demonstration site where you can see how an organization that is collecting transect counts of companion animals would use Companion Animal Tools. Here you will be able to visualize the data already collected in maps and charts, and then load newly collected data to see the dashboard update in real time.
We already have a lot of data but could someone at Companion Animal Tools help us analyze it?
Absolutely. We have broad experience in data analysis and reporting and would be thrilled to help you unlock the knowledge in your data. Please set up an appointment so we can discuss your needs.
