On 2nd October, Royal Canin, in collaboration with The Webinar Vet, hosted the Urinary Symposium: Holistic Management of Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD), attracting veterinary professionals from 58 countries and an impressive live attendance of 515 participants. This international gathering delivered a wealth of knowledge from six expert-led sessions, with each session highly rated by attendees, many of whom recommended the event to their colleagues.

The symposium provided a comprehensive approach to FLUTD, covering everything from nutritional management to urinalysis, with a strong focus on practical strategies for improving feline patient outcomes.
