It was an amazing time of sharing at the Dog Walk/Show of the 60th Annual Congress of NVMA (Nigerian Veterinary Medical Association) yesterday morning in the city of Jos, Nigeria, where our founder, Dr. Sunday Agbonika DVM, CHAIS was invited to speak about Responsible Pet Ownership which encompassed welfare concerns and positive reinforcement dog training. He was also one of the judges of the show, who watched to see animal handlers who have ensured good training and welfare in different categories like grooming, training etc. Hence, he presented the award to the best animal handler. We would share more details on this amazing session. 📍 #animalwelfare #NVMA #responsiblepetownership #positivereinforcementtraining

Two weeks ago, it was a great time for sharing as Dr. Sunday Agbonika DVM, CHAIS had the pleasure of being invited to the Effective Altruism Nigeria Summit. Presenting what we do at Dogalov as the Founder, on the topic, Cage Free Africa, especially on the problems and ways to improve. He also shared perspectives on Animal Welfare and how it translates to better human well-being, from sentience, which is the capacity to have subjective experiences with positive or negative valence to how the 5 freedoms play a role in ensuring Good Animal Welfare. A snippet, are you aware that animals are slaughtered humanely, and their meats taste better than those treated inhumanely? Yes! Generally, animal cruelty should not be welcomed in our spaces. You can make a great impact driven by evidence and reason as we do. We also had one of our team members, Dr. Praise Akobo join the summit as a participant. Let's embrace animal welfare as a collective and collaborative effort. #animalwelfare #humanwellbeing #dogalov Enriching Human Lives in Africa through Pets!
