For over 90 years, Purina has been driving pet nutrition forward and conducting industry-leading research on the wellbeing of pets.
At the Feline Renal Care symposium, we will introduce the latest scientific advances in the treatment and management of feline chronic kidney disease (CKD), a condition that affects one in three cats over the age of 10.
In one afternoon, you will hear from leading veterinary experts discussing advances in feline CKD treatment strategies, pathophysiological insights about the condition, research into renal ageing and advice for dealing with client’s concerns.
You will also learn about the latest scientific studies into the importance of nutrition and diet in feline renal health and have the opportunity to take inspiration from knowledge acquired through treatment of the disease in humans.
