I love to attend veterinary conferences. I always have – from the very start of my career as an equine practitioner, through my university faculty years and now as a technical services veterinarian in industry. Sure… attending conferences is...

In this blog, you get to see a lot of good research going on and learn about our travels across the country. But behind all this fun is the hard work that takes place in front of a computer, in meetings and through group efforts that plan...

This past week was a great week. I started out in St. Louis for our Horse VIP meeting where I was able to catch up with some of our ambassadors that have been with Purina almost as long as I have. Clint Haverty, very successful reining horse trainer from...

I spent the weekend in Sacramento at the Western States Horse Expo. Didn't realize how big it was until I got there - I was proud to just find the building where the booth was! Great crowd at the booth - lots of good questions from the horse owners...

Our crazy crew at AAEP
Right before Thanksgiving, our horse business group headed to the AAEP (American Association of Equine Practitioners) convention in San Antonio, Texas. In addition to being a sponsor of the convention and serving as an educational partner of AAEP in general, we hosted a very large booth that we kept manned between ourselves and our local Texas sales team. This is always a very busy, yet fun event for us as we run from meeting to meeting, attend scientific talks and speak with more vets and vet techs about our products than we can count! Oh, and don't forget we get pretty high on the candy we keep in the booth as well. We tell ourselves that it is for our guests at the booth, but all those mini Snickers, Reese's peanut butter cups, jolly ranchers and more really just keep us going through the long days! Below is a video I took of Dr. Kathy Williamson giving a quick demonstration on the ease of pumping our Well Gel product. This is an enteral diet for horses that pumps easily through a nasogastric tube and is a great tool for vets in their practice. I took this video on our last day and in the last few hours of the trade show, so you will have to excuse my commentary and how I made up the word "fantastically."
The pictures show our snazzy booth and great crew that made the week fun and productive.
