UK Pet Food to hold pet food and nutrition webinars

 

UK Pet Food has announced a new online Pet Food and Nutrition Course, which runs 21 February-2 March 2023. The webinar series has been organised following the success of previous events and is open to all pet care professionals interested in pet nutrition and pet food production.

 

The course is designed to suit busy professionals with three half- day virtual sessions per week. The first week focuses on pet nutrition and the second looks at the legislative and manufacturing aspects of pet food production. A range of tickets and discounts are available and attendees can sign up for specific sessions or the entire two-week course.

 

Sarah Hormozi, UK Pet Food’s Head of Science & Education explains: “We are excited to be holding our first 2023 online pet food and nutrition course, following the success of the previous four webinar series since 2020. In fact, following our last course, 100% of attendees confirmed they would recommend the course to others. “

 

“Registration is now open to our members in addition to all pet care professionals.  We offer discounts for our members and certain groups – for example those from pet welfare charities and students.  Our aim is to make this training as accessible as possible to all those who can benefit. You can find out more and sign up on our website. ”

 

Feedback from previous attendees includes: “I love the online format because you can go back and watch again in case you missed or misunderstood something.” On the half day sessions: “It makes it easier to keep up with the day job when you only take a few hours at a time.”

 

The Animal Nutrition (21-23 February) webinars include:

  • Sessions dedicated to different pet species (dog, cat, small mammals, birds, fish)
  • Clinical Cat & Dog nutrition
  • Pet Obesity

The Pet Food Legislation, Marketing & Manufacturing (28 Feb-2 Mar) webinars include:

  • UK / EU Legislation, Animal By-Products Regulation, Additives & Feed Materials
  • Palatability & Marketing Regulations
  • Manufacturing Safety & Quality, Wet, Semi-moist, Raw and Dry products

Sarah Hormozi adds: “We have an impressive range of speakers from top industry consultants such as Dr John Lowe and Dr Christine Huggett to leading veterinarians and academics such as Dr Marge Chandler and Professor Alex German, delivering our CPD certified Course.  The full two-week course provides approximately 20 hours of CPD.
