WSAVA and Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Work Toward Better Veterinary Care Worldwide
Hill’s Pet Nutrition and the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) celebrated a new financial pledge as part of their joint partnership toward providing better veterinary health care across the globe. As part of this new pact between the organizations, Hill’s agreed to provide a long term grant of more than $1.8 million to aid WSAVA in areas such as the WSAVA Congress, WSAVA Global Continuing Education, WSAVA Disease Standardization Groups and the WSAVA News Bulletin on WSAVA.org.
Pictured at right during the sponsorship celebrations are (from left to right): Dr. David Wadsworth, WSAVA President Elect; Neil Thompson, President, Hill’s Pet Nutrition, The Americas; Dr. Hein Meyer, Director of Strategic Initiatives, Hill’s Pet Nutrition; Dr. Brian Romberg, WSAVA President and Professor Jolle Kirpensteijn, WSAVA Vice President.
“Companion animals in countries across the globe are in need of receiving the best veterinary care possible,” said Hein Meyer, D.V.M., Ph.D., DECVIM-CA, Director of Strategic Initiatives at Hill’s. “This can be achieved through shared understanding and knowledge, and to help, we are pleased to provide additional support to the World Small Animal Veterinary Association’s efforts to advance the quality and availability of small animal medicine and surgery.”
Brian Romberg, BVSc, WSAVA President said, “We are extremely indebted to Hill’s Pet Nutrition for their loyal support of the WSAVA and our profession, and I would like to thank Dr. Hein Meyer and his colleagues for their effort in this regard.”
In addition to this new financial initiative, Hill’s is pleased to continue to provide support for other award programs such as the following:
WSAVA/Hill’s Excellence in Veterinary Health Care Award which recognizes the outstanding work of veterinarians in promoting companion animal healthcare and the family-pet-veterinary bond. Past winners of this prestigious Award include Gregory K. Ogilvie, D.V.M., DACVIM, Philip J. Bergman, D.V.M., MS, Ph.D., DACVIM, C. A. Tony Buffington, D.V.M., MS, Ph.D., DACVN and Rebecca Kirby, D.V.M., DACVIM, DACVECC.
WSAVA/Hill’s Pet Mobility Award which recognizes the outstanding work of a clinical researcher in the field of canine and feline orthopaedic medicine and surgery.
Hill’s Grant to WSAVA
In 2006, Hill’s and WSAVA joined efforts in completing a new textbook Standards for Clinical and Histological Diagnosis of Canine and Feline Liver Disease. The purpose of the book was to provide the global veterinary medical community with the best and most up-to-date information on the diagnosis of canine and feline liver disease.
