The primary goals of IPFDogs’ International Dog Health Workshops (IDHWs) are to promote collaboration and networking and to facilitate the sharing of information and resources ‒ before, during and after the workshop. There have been five IDHWs to date. The next workshop takes place in 2026, with a virtual component 16-17 April setting the stage for an in-person event (30 May - 1 June), immediately preceding the 2026 World Dog Show in Bologna, Italy.
