MCOA Journal

MCOA ONLINE PAYMENT PAGE

Twice a year the Mastiff Club of America puts out a publication called the MCOA Journal. The Journal features health and seasonal topics relevant to Mastiffs. For example, the upcoming issue's health subject is Pyometra and will also have articles with information on other important topics such as: heat exhaustion, moving an incapacitated Mastiff, and an introduction to traditional Chinese veterinary medicine.

Previous issues have covered topics such as: caring for you aging Mastiff, Cardiomyopathy, and Degenerative Myelopathy (BM).

The Journal is a wonderful resource and you don't need to be an MCOA member to subscribe...although we'd love to have you.

If you are a member, you can subscribe or renew your subscription when you renew your membership.

This online shopping cart is provided for members who choose to renew/subscribe & donate online rather than to mail checks.

Photocopies of permanent certifications are not needed. All OTHER health testing claims, such as “OFA PRELIM,” “thyroid normal” (non-OFA), “vWD clear” and other “certifications” can only be made in Journal advertising if the advertiser sends a copy of the laboratory report (not a veterinarian’s letter of opinion) with the ad as proof.

Just got word from our printer. All Journal subscriptions shipped yesterday and today (depending on whether you paid the extra for 1st class or regular bulk mail). Remember that bulk mail can take weeks to arrive, based on your zip code and the number of other bulk mail items going to that area, so please *try* to be patient!

Our printer verifies all addresses via the USPS's address verification system, and we get a report back for any addresses that come back as non-standard or not found. At this time, ALL subscriptions addresses are acceptable in the USPS system, so all magazines shipped without issue.

Watch your mailboxes! They are on their way!

Good news to start your weekend!

The newest issue of the MCOA Journal is uploaded to our printer! I'll get a proof to review, probably on Monday, and as long as everything looks good, it will go to print next week and start mailing soon after.

Thank you to everyone who subscribed! Our subscriptions are up over last year!!

The Journal Committee is looking for 3 new committee members. Specifically, two members who can write and proof articles, and one who is familiar with design programs such as InDesign and Photoshop and can design ads and help layout the magazine. Being on the committee can be very time intensive at certain times of the year, and we just don't have enough members with experience yet to lighten the load a little and spread the work around.

If you are an awesome writer or a great designer, please email our editor at [email protected]! We could use some fresh experience!!

Thank you to all who advertised in this issue! We hope to have some different opportunities for advertising in the future. Stay tuned! ;-)

And now, here's a preview of your next cover!

Someone found an error in the MCOA Journal and most of y'all don't even have it yet! We'll make it right, but just to let everyone know Janice Ackers' ad copy was NOT submitted by her originally with the statement that says Brody won BOB NOHS at the 2014 Eukanuba Show. Someone hit the delete and copy paste keys a few times too many on one of the revisions. Please take this as the honest mistake that it was and not let one sentence on one page of the 160 pages of the Journal doesn't overshadow the great work that the team did on the rest of the publication!

05/03/2015

The MCOA Journal has left the printer and should be arriving in mailboxes everywhere any moment now. We're so excited over its release, we've decided it's contest time!
