Hill’s Pet Nutrition are bringing you the first ever Global Virtual Vet Students Day on 29 August 2020 and it’s going to be one to remember.

Join us (virtually and free) for a day filled with a never-before combination of global speakers and influencers, all coming together in one space. We also have the one and only Larry Soffer, South Africa's own mentalist & illusionist joining us, so you won’t want to miss it.
