We thank Hill’s for extending its support to include both our Global Nutrition Committee and our Professional Wellness Group (PWG)
Mental health issues are a significant concern for the veterinary profession so we are very pleased that our long-time industry partner Hill’s is now supporting our PWG in its drive to enhance veterinary wellness globally. The company, already our Gold Partner, is also continuing its strong support for the work of the WSAVA Global Nutrition Committee
Dr Iveta Becvarova, Director of Global Academic and Professional Affairs at Hill’s, says:
[blockquote author=”” link=”” target=”_blank”]Positive mental well-being is critical for the future of our profession. At Hill’s we are eager to support the WSAVA’s PWG in its mission and to help it develop tools that can combat anxiety and depressive symptoms or suicidal thoughts.[/blockquote]

Dr Shane Ryan, WSAVA President, says:
[blockquote author=”” link=”” target=”_blank”]Hill’s has been a staunch supporter of the WSAVA for many years. We are delighted that the company will continue as our Gold Partner and are particularly happy that it has chosen to support the important work of the PWG. The interim findings of the PWG’s global survey into veterinary wellness, launched during WSAVA World Congress 2019 in Toronto, confirmed that stress and diminished well-being are concerns for all members of the veterinary team and in all areas of the world.
This already serious problem is likely to be exacerbated by the additional pressures many of our members are facing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is an issue the PWG is already addressing with Hill’s’ support as a key focus for its work this year.
