This Saturday, founder and CEO of Virchew, Laura Simonson, will present as a Key Speaker at Planted Expo, alongside boundary-pushing vegan luminaries and entrepreneurs, including Brenda Davis, Dr. Matthew Nagra, Erin Ireland, Margaret Coons, and Olympic athletes Meagan Duhamel and Dotsie Bausch.

Presenting an innovative and thought-provoking approach to canine health, Simonson will posit the question: ‘A Vegan Diet for Dogs: What if it’s a Game Changer?’. Drawing from over 30 years of research and experience, Simonson aims to inspire the audience to think outside culturally ingrained dog diet norms. Her message will take a deeper look into the impact that humanity’s best friend could have on our collective evolution from shocking pet food facts to senseless disease, massive healthcare costs, climate change, and our emotional and social well-being.

Simonson says, “Why is our dog’s diet important? If dogs and cats had their own country, it would rank 5th in global meat consumption. So I founded Virchew alongside a team of extraordinary professionals to directly counteract this devastating statistic and provide sustainable dietary solutions. Virchew is a 100% plant-based product that uses highly nutritious, lightly processed Canadian and North American non-GMO ingredients - supported by their industry-first veterinary programs and partnerships - creating a powerful new paradigm in canine nutrition for humanity’s best friend.”

Laura will be presenting on Saturday, May 27 at 11:30 am!

The Virchew Crew will be at Booth 437 both days. Team members will offer product details and samples and sign up those interested in transitioning their dogs to a plant-based diet. Plus, awesome give-a-ways and special event pricing available only during the show weekend!

Planted Expo is on May 27th and 28th at the Vancouver Conference Centre West (1055  Canada Place) from 10am to 5pm daily. Click here for your tickets!
