#PetPower Night 2024: Empowering the human-animal bond
On 30 September, the Pet Alliance will be celebrating the human animal bond with four-legged (and two-legged 😉) guests.
Location:
– on Monday 30th September
– at Townhall Europe
Our Focus:
We are hosting our annual pet-friendly networking event to celebrate #PetPower in the EU. The event is a great opportunity for you to learn more about the human-animal bond – what we call PetPower. In addition to celebrating the joy that pets bring to our lives, we will discuss why it’s important to ensure the wellbeing of all animals involved in this special relationship, both pets and assistance animals.
Currently, 50% of European households enjoy the companionship of a pet. Additionally, pet therapy is in demand. More and more animals are involved in assisting roles. Whilst this is something we promote and support, we also want to ensure that these animals are well cared for and all their needs are met.
Our Speaker:
We are delighted to welcome Marie-José Enders-Slegers, respected researcher and President of the International Association of Human-Animal Interaction Organisations (IAHAIO).
Pet Pawtrait Corner:
This year, there will be an area for you and your four legged friend to have your ‘Pet Pawtrait’ taken by our excellent photographer.
Who is invited?
The event is by invitation only for MEPs and other members of EU institutions, plus those in the pet care sector. Your pet is also very welcome!
