About the Hill's Microbiome Webinar

Explore the latest research on the gut-kidney axis with our on-demand webinar, Microbiome Changes in Cats With Chronic Kidney Disease, featuring expert insights into dysbiosis in feline CKD patients. On 24 October 2019, Hill's Pet Nutrition brought together four distinguished experts for an interactive online event exploring the latest microbiome science and its clinical applications for chronic GI patients.

The programme covered the Human Microbiome Project, the dog and cat microbiome, chronic enteropathies in pets, and Hill's own microbiome research — past, present, and future. Explore the connection between gut health and behavior in our latest article on the canine microbiome and the brain-gut axis in clinical cases.
