Dear dog lover:

Last month CHF was pleased to host the 2015 National Parent Club Canine Health Conference (NPCCHC), sponsored by Nestlé Purina PetCare Company. This two day event featured:

240 attendees
60 veterinarians
25 veterinary students, attendance supported through OFA Veterinary Scholarship Program
20 canine health researchers who spoke at the conference
AKC Parent Club members representing companion, conformation, and field events
Representatives from the AKC, the OFA, Purina, Zoetis, and VetVine

Many of the presentations made during the NPCCHC will be released and available to view as webinars later this fall. Please continue to check our website for more information.

At the NPCCHC we also welcomed Dr. Diane Brown, DVM, PhD, DACVP to the CHF staff. Dr. Brown serves as Chief Scientific Officer where she oversees the grants and educational programs. Dr. Brown looks forward to meeting and working with our many committed supporters.
