Dear Colleagues,

As you sit down to explore what is new in companion animal veterinary care by way of the lectures contained in these Proceedings, take to heart that you are fulfilling the wise words of Albert Einstein, who said Wisdom is not the product of schooling but the lifelong attempt to acquire it.

As you continue on your path of learning, we are so pleased that you have chosen the WSAVA World Congress and FECAVA Eurocongress in Copenhagen as part of your "curriculum."

The combination of lectures, interactive sessions & laboratories, as well as scientific discussions amongst colleagues available to Congress attendees collectively enhance the learning experience and provide new information and perspectives to share with your healthcare team when you return home. A big thank you to all of our lecturers, who have contributed to the body of knowledge shared and to all who share the passion for learning.
