Building on the success of the Virtual Dog Health Forum (June 2025), we adopted a new hybrid format for the 6th IDHW. By combining online sessions in April with an in-person event in Bologna, Italy, in May/June, we were able to accommodate a growing number of organizations and experts wishing to share their knowledge and expertise, while also providing opportunities for those unable to attend the Bologna event to participate in these important conversations.
A FREE online event Thursday, 16 April and Friday, 17 April – Powered by Royal Canin – featuring presentations and interactive discussions
An in-person event Saturday, 30 May to Monday, 1 June in Bologna, Italy, (registration fee applied) with a full program incorporating multiple streams of conversation on key issues in dog health and well-being, networking opportunities, and social events; held in conjunction with the 4th FCI World Congress for Show Judges and 2026 World Dog Show (also co-hosted by ENCI).
