Speaking to an attentive audience of general practitioners and specialists, Dr. Bensignor ¹ shared his expertise during a week of in-depth discussions. The goal was to provide practical solutions to the daily clinical challenges faced by animal health professionals in China.

The program covered several major topics in depth:

• Canine Atopic Dermatitis (CAD): from clinical diagnosis—based on ICADA guidelines—to inflammation management using reactive and proactive therapies.
• Otology: a structured, step-by-step approach, ranging from precise diagnosis to selecting the most targeted treatment.
• Bacterial pyoderma: highlighting new therapeutic guidelines, the importance of the microbiome, and the holistic "One Health" approach.
• Feline dermatology: with a specific focus on the complex management of head-and-neck dermatitis.

The success of this scientific tour also relied on the strong involvement of the local Virbac China teams, who ensured seamless organization, as well as the excellent translation provided by Dr. Qiao Qiao, which enabled the smooth and accurate transfer of knowledge.
