Mastering Pet Health: A Deep Dive into Gastrointestinal Wellness and Nutrition
Join Scott Huggins, the Veterinary Services Lead for North America for Farmina Pet Nutrition, as he discusses the critical role of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and proper nutrition in maintaining the overall health of our beloved pets. The course highlights the intricate connection between the GI tract and various physiological systems in the body, such as the neurological, dermatological, and immune systems, emphasizing its influence beyond common issues like vomiting and diarrhea. Throughout the session, there will be a review of the anatomy and purpose of the GI tract, common gastrointestinal diseases and how to avoid them, proper feeding techniques, and recent surprising research related to the important role diet plays in the health of our precious feline and canine companions.
