Better Life for Pets & People (BLPP) is a Belgian non-profit organization with a clear mission: to promote the well-being of both pets and people.
BLPP brings together the entire pet ecosystem — animal caregivers, veterinarians, colleges, universities, pet food brands, retailers, animal welfare organizations, and more — to create a future where the bond between humans and animals is recognized, protected, and strengthened.
Join us and help transform Belgium into a place where pets and people thrive together. Discover in this lecture how promoting the positive impact of the human-animal relationship can ultimately benefit you as a pet store owner.

In addition, Lies Beernaert will highlight several training programs offered by VIVES (Continue) during the lecture. These programs are designed to address current and future challenges within the sector and provide practical tools to support a professional and sustainable approach.
