ALBANY, N.Y., Mar 19, 2019 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — World renowned veterinarian Dr. Jean Dodds will be headlining the second annual Healthy Dog Expo, to be held April 6, 2019 at the Desmond Hotel in Albany, N.Y. Dr. Dodds, a researcher and author on the cutting edge of holistic health care, and founder of Hemopet, the world’s first non-profit animal blood bank, is just one of the speakers on tap for this one-of-a-kind educational forum for dog lovers. Conceived by holistic veterinarian Dr. Laurie Coger, the event brings together a host of internationally acclaimed experts in the natural dog health world, covering topics ranging from cancer prevention and raw feeding to new developments in physical therapy, the latest in vaccination protocol and more.
Today’s dogs battle more health challenges than ever before, according to Dr. Coger. She cites rising cancer rates, growing numbers of autoimmune conditions and struggles to mitigate the effects of increased chemical exposure, environmental toxins and a seemingly never-ending string of life threatening food recalls as key challenges facing today’s dog owners.
Dr. Coger states, “Our best friends’ lifespans are getting shorter and we need to reverse that trend. Now, more than ever, we have to learn to make smart choices that will give our dogs the long, healthy and happy lives they deserve.”
