Microbiome-Informed GI Care for the Growing Puppy (On Demand Webinar)

Course overview

This webinar provides veterinarians and veterinary professionals with a practical approach to gastrointestinal cases in growing puppies. Focusing on the period from weaning until the end of growth the session reframes how the early-life gut microbiome shapes clinical outcomes and how everyday decisions in the consultation room can either support or undermine it. Drawing on recent canine microbiome research, the lecture equips clinicians to take a clearer and more confident approach to gastrointestinal health in growing puppies. Particular emphasis is placed on revising outdated reflexes, including routine antibiotic prescribing, fasting a puppy presenting with gastrointestinal signs, and generic homemade recommendations, and replacing them with biologically justified choices grounded in current science. Attendees will leave with clear, practice-ready decision frameworks, monitoring cues, and nutrition-based strategies to support gut resilience, reduce avoidable medical escalation, and protect long-term gastrointestinal health during this vulnerable developmental window.
