[Seminar Objectives]

In recent years, with the growing awareness of pet health, more owners are paying attention to "diet" and "intestinal environment." However, the internet and social media are flooded with various information, leaving many owners wondering "What is correct?" or "I want to know a method that suits my dog." This seminar aims to provide knowledge useful for maintaining your dog's health by learning about the impact of the intestinal environment on skin, coat, immune function, and daily health, as well as dietary approaches that can be practiced at home.
