Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am excited to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue on ‘Gastrointestinal Disease and Health in Pets’ that I have the honor of editing for Veterinary Sciences.
The intestinal tract serves as a vital organ for the digestion and absorption of nutrients, and it also functions as the body's largest immune organ. The health status of the gut is a key determinant of an animal's overall well-being. In the realm of pet animal welfare, gut health emerges as the foremost concern. This Special Issue is dedicated to highlighting original articles that delve into the intricacies of gut health and diseases in pets. This issue on ‘Gastrointestinal Disease and Health in Pets’ addresses the need to enhance the flow of information and communication between sciences by publishing selected research articles from leading laboratories in the field. It is hoped that this issue will further stimulate collaboration between scientists working on all aspects of pet gut health and disease.
