Aiming for top-level animal welfare?
Animal Update’s mission is to identify the most up-to-date, evidence-based, and ethically sound solutions to animal-related challenges, while fostering the motivation to implement them through insights into animal realities.
The vision is a Finland, Europe, and world where all animals lead lives that feel good and are suited to their species and individual needs.
The services are provided by Verna Vilppula, a specialist holding a Master’s degree in animal welfare and behaviour.
I apply and communicate research-based knowledge across all levels, from organisations and businesses to pet owners and animal caregivers.
I offer innovative solutions, a systemic understanding, and an international perspective on animal-related matters.
Get in touch to discuss your needs—let’s explore where we can begin.
FOR ALL AUDIENCES
Science-based education on animal-based thinking and systemic understanding.
Visual materials and a clear structure help you see how different factors affect each other. You will comprehend the whole in a new way – and understand why things and their functions are structured in a certain way.
FOR BUSINESSES AND ORGANISATIONS
Expert consulting for building animal-oriented and functional systems.
I combine research knowledge and practical experience into clear solutions. You get an objective, structured view which helps you make justified and sustainable choices in the development of operations or facilities.
FOR ANIMAL OWNERS
Expert support to promote your pet's overall well-being and behaviour.
Support services complement possible veterinary care through extensive mapping and unrushed guidance. You are better equipped and can trust that the help is near when moving with your animal forward. The aim is the best life possible for your animal.
Also information and advice on everyday topics.
