The behavioural effects in pets with owners being asked to socially distance
(incl. TVA)
“The pandemic has changed things for everyone. It has made everyone think about how we interact with pets, not only now but also in the new normal, whatever that may be. Veterinarians and veterinary staff deal with pets daily and recognise the signs of fear, anxiety and stress but when do these signs mean that that things are serious and what advice should you give? How can you make things better for everyone?”

Let’s talk cat and dog behaviour at 2nd vac
Fence at the top of the cliff or an ambulance at the bottom?
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!
