Invitation

We are pleased to invite you to the 8th National Congress of Veterinary Dermatology, which will take place on May 9–10, 2026, in Burgas, Bulgaria.

This year’s edition of the congress will focus on leishmaniasis in dogs and cats, management of pruritus in allergic animals, and endocrine diseases with dermatological manifestations. Practical aspects of diagnosing and treating depigmentation and dermatological clinical cases will also be discussed.

Our distinguished speakers will be leading experts in the field of veterinary dermatology:
Dr. Svetlina Aleksandrova (Bulgaria) and Dr. Elisa Samuel (Badulescu) (Italy).

You can look forward to engaging lectures, practical case discussions, and interactive sessions. The event will provide an excellent opportunity for sharing experience and knowledge, as well as for building new professional connections.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 8th National Congress of Veterinary Dermatology, confident that this year’s edition will once again be inspiring, valuable, and unifying for all participants.
