Veterinary professionals can sign up now to a free, one-day
virtual congress to hear expert perspectives on the key health issues facing
cats and dogs.
The Royal Canin Heath Management Virtual Congress takes place on
Wednesday 14 July and will feature speakers on a range of topics, including
neutering and maintaining healthy weight, the behavioural impact of COVID-19,
periodontal diseases and cognitive dysfunction in ageing pets.
Among the speakers are Alex German, Professor of Small Animal
Medicine and Georgia Woods-Lee, Weight Management Clinic Nurse at the
University of Liverpool Small Animal Teaching Hospital. They will discuss
neutering and maintaining healthy weight. Their interactive session will
combine scientific background and principle together with practical tools for
immediate use in practice.
Sarah Heath, Veterinary Specialist in Behavioural Medicine and
Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourist, will explore the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic on pet selection and the implications of this in relation to the
emotional health and welfare of dogs and cats. She will explore the impact of
the dramatic change in human lifestyle on existing pets as well as the
challenges associated with easing of pandemic restrictions and a return to a
more “normal” way of life.
For the first time, delegates will be able to connect with each
other, key opinion leaders and Royal Canin representatives in a dedicated
networking area.
Delegates will be able to make use of interactive elements around
the event centre to find out more about Health Management products, catch-up on
Weight Management Virtual Congress content and catch up on on-demand content.
Delegates will also have the opportunity to win prizes by taking
part in a treasure hunt around the event centre.
