Brenda Bonnett to speak during Summit Session III: The Challenges of the Pet Experience

The urban animal industry is facing a variety of challenges in communities around the world. Several factors determine each experience and every challenge but many maintain underlying similarities. Collaboration, education and communication throughout the industry is a necessary step to creating healthy communities for people and pets.

Which trends are challenging the urban animal experience? Are these challenges best defined as problems addressed by a 'solution' or as dilemmas requiring innovation to convert them into an opportunity.

Dr. Brenda Bonnett has studied the pet experience around the globe. Her multifaceted international experience and research will be explored during her Summit 2013 Facts & Evidence Session III: The Challenges of the Pet Experience presentation.

Formerly tenured faculty at the Ontario Veterinary College, Brenda is now a Consulting Epidemiologist. Her research and projects in Europe and North America include development of national and international programs with kennel clubs, numerous pet welfare initiatives spanning the National Council on Pet Population and the recent American Humane Association Cat Welfare Forum.
