Inflammatory Bowel Disease - the Unnecessary Epidemic

Saturday, February 27th, 10 am
Historically, IBD has been treated with immune-suppressing drugs like prednisone because it is as an immune-reactive condition. However, many feline practitioners now argue that cats are only reacting to the unnatural ingredients in most commercial cat foods.  Join veterinarian, Dr. Andrea Tasi of Just Cats, Naturally, for her discussion on how we must go back to the basics to prevent and treat feline IBD. Reservations required, fee $20. Register
Since fresh and raw foods are often key in treating and managing IBD, we’ve invited representatives from Home Farm to be on hand to discuss their raw organic foods for cats and dogs.
