Webcast with Dr. Charlie Pye and Dr. Moran Tal-Gavriel

In this two-part presentation, Dr. Charlie Pye will begin with a brief overview of the pathophysiology and clinical signs of atopic dermatitis, with an emphasis on milder cases commonly encountered in general practice. Building on this dermatological foundation, Dr. Moran Tal-Gavriel, a board-certified veterinary nutritionist, will lead a 25-minute session exploring the role of nutrition in managing atopic dermatitis in dogs and cats. She will review the current evidence on how dietary interventions can influence skin health, immune function, and inflammation in atopic patients.

Key topics will include:
• Nutritional goals in managing atopic dermatitis;
• The role of essential fatty acids and anti-inflammatory nutrients;
• The use of hydrolyzed or novel protein diets in atopic dermatitis;
• Nutritional adjuncts to support skin barrier function and reduce flare frequency;
• Case-based insights and practical tips for effective collaboration between dermatologists and nutritionists.
