Overall, the Pet Vision 2025 Public Lecture was conducted smoothly, despite some network issues at certain points that caused audio quality to decrease. However, these issues did not lessen the participants' enthusiasm throughout the event. Through this activity, it is hoped that participants not only gained new knowledge, but also developed a broader understanding of the field of veterinary medicine and its role in realizing the concept of “healthy pet, healthy human”.
