For over a decade, Dr. Patton lectured as an Adjunct Professor at a leading eastern university, to both graduate and undergraduate classes. With numerous scientific publications and two patents, his credentials are well accepted in the academic world.

Patton’s success as a public speaker is not based soley on his lectures being about animals, a topic beloved by all. A keynote address by Patton delivers useful insight that can be applied at once. Practical information is always the central theme of his lectures, with a logical and rational discussion of the underlying science.

People interested in pet nutrition have a wonderful opportunity to observe and shape the world for their pets. Feeding once or twice every day offers a perfect chance to monitor cause and effect in a real world setting. But pets have a remarkable flexibility, intended by nature, to temporarily tolerate varied and inappropriate diets. To see beyond this requires an appreciation of numerous disciplines. A lecture by Dr. Patton provides a unifying overview, beginning with a humorous look at our own behavior as well as our pet’s behavior.
