Our profession, knowledge and skills continue to evolve to face the new challenges brought by contemporary veterinary medicine. Longer-lived pets, strong emotional bonds with their guardians, and the need for comprehensive support in the final stage of life demand a deeper, more sensitive and up-to-date view of our role. Updating our knowledge in Veterinary Gerontology goes hand in hand with understanding pain, accompanying grief, caring for the mental health of our patients and our own, and building empathetic human relationships that raise the standard of our practice. This congress integrates science and emotion, technique and purpose. Our speakers —national and international— will give us real tools to accompany geriatric patients and those who love them with excellence, through compassionate, up-to-date and professionally sustainable medicine. Core topics: Oncological pain, chronic pain and anesthesia in the geriatric patient; Oncogeriatrics; Grief, euthanasia and emotional support; Geriatric nutrition and microbiota/biome; Motivation, resilience and veterinary mental health
