Purina Institute
Putting the Power of Nutrition Science into Practice
At the Purina Institute, we believe science is more powerful when it’s shared.
We empower veterinary professionals to put nutrition at the forefront of pet health discussions to further improve and extend the healthy lives of pets through nutrition.
Including topics from advancing brain health to extending a healthy life, delivered through:
● Webinars
● Expert talking heads
● Role play videos
And much more to help you in your daily veterinary practice and help pets live longer, healthier lives.
