GUALTIERO GANDINI
DVM, PhD, DECVN
"The Purina Institute is a great community which is working together to improve knowledge and share information, to facilitate the nutrition conversations between veterinary healthcare practitioners and their clients"
ANDY SPARKES
BVETMED, PhD, DIPLOMATE, ECVIM, MANZCVS, MRCVS
"Purina Institute is stepping outside of the commercial channel. It's putting across really good research science from Purina, but also looking at best evidence based information from other sources as well, then bringing it all together in a way that's really accessible."
LISA RADOSTA
DVM, DACVB
"For me, one of the big benefits is that I get science and I get it on my terms, on my phone, and I know exactly how much time I'm going to spend. And when I talk to my clients, I want them to understand that I base my treatment recommendations on the most current science and my clinical experience. So getting the science fast, easy, accurate and unbiased - for me that is essential."
CAROLINE MANSFIELD
BSc, BVMS, MVM, PhD, MANZCVS, DECVIM-CA
"Knowing that there's science behind your recommendations that you're going to make for nutrition helps build trust and helps explain to the clients why you might be changing a diet or recommending a particular dietary intervention."
