Free Pet Parent Lecture Series: Pet Nutrition

Join us for a series of free, educational lectures designed to help pet parents better understand their pets’ health, behavior, and overall well-being. Each session is led by a presenter with expertise in the subject and includes time for questions. Lectures are all held at the West Milford Township Library. Our April 16^th lecture is “Pet Nutrition” 

Nutrition plays a vital role in your pet’s health, energy, and longevity—but with so many options, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. 

We’ll discuss: 

• How to choose the right food for your pet 
• Understanding pet food labels and ingredients
• Common nutrition myths and misconceptions 
• Diets for different life stages and health conditions 

This lecture is great for pet parents who want to make confident, informed nutrition choices.
