Episode 64 – Children and Pets Part 1

Are you an expecting parent waiting to bring a new baby into a home with existing pets?

Or perhaps you are a pet care professional looking for the best advice to give to new or expecting parents about introducing a new baby to their pets?

The reason you are worried about this is because you’re not sure of the best way to approach this.

And the reason you are feeling stressed and anxious is because you feel guilty about disrupting your pet’s routine or not being able to pay them as much attention as before.

This is all completely normal, and you will absolutely be able to manage this, with a little advice from myself and Nora.

As a mom of 2 young girls as well as 2 cats, Nora gives us her top tips on integrating new babies into a home of already existing kitty cats (with lots of transferrable information for doggie homes too!)

She chats about the importance of early preparation, the important role that dads play when the baby first comes home and how to navigate the feelings of guilt that can arise when a new mom’s time and routines are turned on their heads.

We also talk about how important it is to be able to read canine and feline body language to understand how the pets might be feeling because of these changes in their homes and routines.

Episode 63 – Preparing your Pet for Air Travel

Air travel can be a stressful experience for both pets and owners, but, with some thoughtful preparation and by following my 5-step approach for Pet Air Travel Preparation, we can manage the stress for the pets, which will also help pet owners feel more comfortable.

During my veterinary practice ownership in the UAE for the last 16 years, I have prepared around 300 pets ANNUALLY for Air Travel, which means I have been able to gather a wealth of knowledge and expertise when it comes to all things Pet Air Travel, especially how to alleviate and manage stress in pets during air travel.

Episode 62 – Deep Dive into The Veterinary Behaviour Consultation

Join me for a deep dive into some of the unique aspects of The Veterinary Behaviour Consultation and learn more about some of the really useful skillsets required to dig deep and really help bring about behaviour change.

Here are some of the things you’ll take away from this episode:

1. How to remove some of the barriers that might be holding you back from offering behaviour consultations in YOUR practice.

2. That behaviour consultations don’t have to be super lengthy in order to make a difference to your client and patient.

3. How a really short and simple questionnaire can prompt your clients to talk about behaviour problems during routine veterinary visits.

4. Why sensitivity, compassion, deep listening and thoughtful questioning are essential skills in any consultation.

5. How to ensure you meet your client’s desired outcomes while still focusing on the global health and welfare of your patient.

I really hope this episode gives you some food for thought and some inspiration to perhaps build mental and emotional healthcare into your everyday practice.

Here are the resources I mention during the episode (and where you can find that super short and simple questionnaire):

1. Duxbury, M. M., Sobczynski, H., Flynn, K., & Rendahl, A. (2024). A behavior screening questionnaire improves problem identification in veterinary primary care with implications for patient health. Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 262(4), 1–9. https://doi.org/10.2460/javma.23.07.0405
