VSG^® has been very fortunate to formalise a partnership with Hill's Pet Nutrition. We have always had close ties with Hill's through our long relationship with Dr Pru Galloway but this sponsorship agreement is a new level of engagement.

Like our other sponsor Pfizer, Hill's is a very strong supporter of the New Zealand veterinary profession. They provide support for undergraduates from the first year (Veterinary Leadership Experience program) on through to final year and beyond (free scrubs and stethoscopes, funds for texts etc).

Hill's actively financially support continuing education for veterinarians and are Diamond Sponsors of the NZVA. It is worth noting that without sponsorship support from companies like Hill's and Pfizer the registration costs for NZVA conferences would rise by $300-$500 per delegate. We are very lucky to have such support.

The list of Hill's support to the profession is too long to document here but does include free in-house feeding for patients at Massey University, CE events, funded speaker tours, sponsoring VetScholar courses, technical support from nine veterinarians in Australia (including four specialists) and the list goes on.

VSG^® thanks Hill's for their ongoing sponsorship. Hill's sponsorship allows VSG^® to continue our CE program through our VSG^® Seminar Series (keeps the wine and food quality high), helps publish The Next Step newsletter and provide free in-house feeding of our patients. All this before we talk about the excellent product range this company has.

VSG^® welcomes our new sponsor and looks forward to a long, mutually beneficial relationship.
