2009 CVM News: Ten-part video series for pet owners in the works
This news item is about: For the third consecutive year, Nestlé Purina PetCare has made a donation to Partners in Animal Health to help support the ongoing development of educational videos for cat owners. Their $71,000 gift will underwrite a 10-part video series used to teach pet owners about a variety of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. A number of veterinary faculty and the Feline Health Center are participating in this project, with Dr. Joseph J. Wakshlag, assistant professor of clinical nutrition, serving as the main collaborator on nutritional aspects of GI disease management. The videos will be available to the public at no charge on the Partners in Animal Health website and 2,000 DVDs will also be produced and made available to veterinarians for use as a client education tool.
