Canine Masters, a new event focused on natural approaches to canine health, will be held at The Capitol in Melbourne on 15 November 2025.

Organisers describe the inaugural day as a full program of live talks and an evening expo intended to gather international and national experts and industry professionals around evidence-informed, natural approaches to dog health. The Pet Food Shop is named as a major sponsor of the event. Promoting natural health for dogs—such as through minimally processed, balanced diets—is often promoted by advocates as a way to support healthy weight and digestive and immune function, although individual outcomes can vary.

The event was announced through trade channels and event materials; the launch story appeared in Vet Practice Magazine, which outlined the venue and core purpose. The Capitol in Melbourne is listed as the host site.

Confirmed speakers include clinical herbalist Rita Hogan, veterinary homeopath Dr Michael Dym and integrative veterinarian Dr Matthew Muir. The organisers say the line-up brings a mix of perspectives aimed at advancing canine wellbeing through natural, science-backed practices. Organisers position the event within a broader trend toward increased interest in natural and holistic canine health and preventive care among some Australian pet owners.

Co-hosts for the event are Phivo Christodoulou of Augustine Approved Pty Ltd and Michelle Cummins of Natural Pet Farmacy and STAN Pet Beds. “We’re thrilled to launch the very first Canine Masters event; a groundbreaking experience for anyone passionate about natural canine health,” Christodoulou said. Cummins added: “Canine Masters is more than a conference; It’s a leading forum for advancing canine health and wellbeing through natural, science-backed practices.” Event promotional materials encourage interest in natural health options for pets, including diet-related choices; specific recommendations, such as selecting high-quality foods with named meats as primary ingredients, should be sourced from veterinary or nutrition guidelines.

Organisers position Canine Masters as both a conference and an experience, aiming to place purpose-driven pet wellness brands at the centre of a wider movement. More on the event format and the organisers’ description is available on the official Canine Masters site, which provides background on mission and programming.

The programme materials referenced by organisers highlight a schedule of live talks and an expo element designed to connect practitioners, product makers and attendees. The Pet Food Shop’s role as a major sponsor is listed in event announcements and promotional material.

The Capitol venue and the organisers’ emphasis on a curated, experience-focused day point to a premium positioning for the inaugural gathering. Event organisers have framed the day as a platform for dialogue among veterinary and wellness professionals and purpose-driven brands within the natural-pet-care sector. This cross-pollination of ideas is critical as the market for natural pet foods and supplements continues to grow.

Tickets and access tiers were discussed in promotional material accompanying the announcement, and organisers invited veterinary professionals and others interested in natural canine health to register for the day. The event materials name the confirmed speakers and hosts and describe the day as an opportunity for knowledge exchange and industry networking.

Canine Masters will take place on 15 November 2025 at The Capitol in Melbourne as organisers prepare the first edition of the program and expo.
