Low-grade chronic inflammation is known to lead to changes in cognitive and emotional processing within the brain. These changes are associated with behavioral change, which is sometimes the only outward sign of the change in inflammatory status. In addition, many disease states are also known to be underpinned by low-grade inflammation. Nutrition and diet can change the levels of inflammatory mediators (or biological chemicals) in the body - having both anti-inflammatory effects but also pro-inflammatory effects depending on the type, presentation, and amounts of nutritional components within a diet. These dietary effects can be direct, due to the components and constituents of the diet, but also indirectly via effects on the microbiome. This area of research is fascinating, not only because of the negative effects low-grade chronic inflammation can have on many disease states but also because of the connection between inflammatory state, nutrition, stress, disease, and behavior. This webinar will take a look at this topic across a range of species, with a focus on dogs but including other domesticated animals also. Examining the impact of nutrition on inflammatory mediator production and the microbiome. The more we learn about this exciting topic, the more accurately we can make informed nutritional choices for our pets and other animals. Learning Objectives: Attendees will gain an understanding of the interconnection between diet, nutrition, behavior, disease status, and stress. Attendees will gain an understanding of some of the ways in which diet can impact physiological and psychological processes. Attendees will be able to apply the knowledge they gain to existing knowledge and expertise, in order to enhance the advice they are able to give clients about individualized nutritional care for their pets. These webinars are suitable for veterinary professionals, animal trainers, animal behaviorists, dog sports teams, shelter and rescue staff and volunteers, pet guardians, and anyone with an interest in the neurobiology of training and behavior. This is an online event. This webinar will be recorded and sent out two weeks after the live event. Anyone who purchases a ticket will receive a recording one week after the event date. You will be able to view the webinar even if you cannot join us on the live event date. The recording will be available for viewing for up to 12 months. This webinar will also be available for purchase on our website 3 weeks after the live event.
