After the last two successful events, the DogRisk Evidence Based Raw Food Seminar will again be held in Helsinki! There is evidence that humans can help both their pets, and themselves, by eating and drinking better. We have excellent researchers and lecturers sharing their knowledge. This should be as interesting for all people feeding their dogs or eating themselves: students, faculty or practitioners of nutrition, clinical nutrition, human or veterinary medicine, pet owners, parents, nurses…The DogRisk research group at the Department of Equine and small Animal Medicine, Veterinary Sciences at the University of Helsinki, welcomes you all to join!
