Have you ever wondered if you are ‘doing enough’ for your patients when they are hospitalised with you? Are you a ‘let’s get the job done as quickly as possible so it’s over for the animal’ type person or more of a ‘I want to try and make this as postive as possible for the patient’ type person?

A guide to help animals and the veterinary team best cope with the "journey" through the veterinary hospital post trauma and injury - from accident, admission through to recovery. 

The dreaded end of consult question…. “Can I just ask you quickly? Why does my cat spray urine in my kitchen”? Or “How can I stop my dog chewing the sofa when I go out?” These questions, although common place, can often be difficult to answer. But what if we worked towards the owner never having to ask them in the first place?

We can help to prevent common problems from developing by recognising that we are well placed to educate owners during the second vaccination appointment on how to foster emotional resilience in their dog or cat. In other words, if they put the work in at the beginning, then the chance of a behavioural problem developing reduces. Let’s talk about more than worming, nutrition and neutering!
This webinar aims to look at:
•    Understanding what motivates cats and dogs and how we reinforce their behaviour – good and bad
•    Advising owners on how good intentions early on will lead to good welfare outcomes in a variety of common behavioural challenges
•    Recognising the communication and body language that often precedes a dog bite – it’s not about dominance!
