Episode 143 – Help! The Medications have stopped working!
This episode was inspired by a recent consultation where the caregiver had noted a deterioration in their pet's behaviour and wondered whether this was due to the "medications no longer working".
Have a listen as I chat through my top 5 things to consider when there is deterioration in behaviour and whether the medications are always to blame.
In this episode you'll learn about:
· The timeline of side effects of the most commonly used baseline psychopharmaceuticals.
· The importance of management and assessing physical health contributors.
· The importance of life stages.
· Other really important questions to ask when previously stable behaviour deteriorates.
I also chat a little bit about the Cytochrome P450 system and how medication interactions or concurrent use of other medications or supplements can affect psychopharmacology.
If you would like to learn more about my approach to Behaviour Cases, then join my amazing Membership – The Behaviour Case Collective - for monthly deep-dives into cases and case management approaches:

Episode 142 – Using Trazodone with SSRIs and TCAs
Can trazodone be safely used in combination with and SSRI or TCA without causing signs of Serotonin Syndrome? This is one of the most frequently asked questions I hear, especially from GP vets.
Have a listen as I chat through my thoughts on this topic and refer back to one of the original studies on trazodone from 2008 where it was used as an augmenting agent for patients already on an SSRI or TCA to further improve signs of fear or anxiety.
I also talk about medication doses, and I mention 2 further papers where dogs and cats ingested their caregivers' anti-depressant medication and only 25% developed clinical signs consistent with SS.
Here are the papers I mention in the episode:
Gruen, M.E. and Sherman, B.L., 2008. Use of trazodone as an adjunctive agent in the treatment of canine anxiety disorders: 56 cases (1995–2007). Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 233(12), pp.1902-1907.
Pugh, C.M., Sweeney, J.T., Bloch, C.P., Lee, J.A., Johnson, J.A. and Hovda, L.R., 2013. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) toxicosis in cats: 33 cases (2004–2010). Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, 23(5), pp.565-570.
Thomas, D.E., Lee, J.A. and Hovda, L.R., 2012. Retrospective evaluation of toxicosis from selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants: 313 dogs (2005–2010). Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, 22(6), pp.674-681.

Episode 141 – Why "Gaba/Traz" is not always the best option
This episode was inspired by a lecture I gave at BVA Live 2026 and the ensuing questions and discussion about the use of Pre-Visit Pharmaceuticals.
The truth is that while gabapentin and trazodone can be a good PVP combination for some canine patients, it should not be used as a "one size fits all" approach for all dogs requiring anxiolytic support at the veterinary clinic and we should, instead, consider each patient as an individual and tailor their medication regime accordingly.
In this episode I chat about:
· Cats versus dogs when it comes to PVPs.
· Why anxiolytic doses of gabapentin can cause vulnerability in canine patients with musculoskeletal disease.
· Why trial doses at home are imperative.
· Other options for PVP combinations.
If you are a vet who often reaches for "Gaba/Traz", then this episode is a good nudge to think about patient choices and other PVP options.
If you'd like to read more about these and related topics, our Professional Guides E-Book is a must-read for you : https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/trinity-ebook
And, if you'd like to learn more about Veterinary Psychopharmacology, you'll love my PSYCHOACTIVE course: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/psychoactive

Episode 140 – 15 Minute Speed Coaching with Sharon Jones – Dogs and Car Journeys
Welcome to another 15-minute Speed Coaching Session for Veterinary and Pet Care Professionals!
The rules of the game are as follows:
· Episodes will be in-the-moment, off-the-cuff and unscripted.
· Coaching sessions will be 15 Minutes MAXIMUM, so wherever we finish, we finish…
· Which means that we might not find complete resolution to your question, but we will certainly get the thought process started!
In this episode, I chat to Canine Dog Trainer and Behaviourist, Sharon Jones, about the challenges of working through cases where dogs show fear- or stress behaviours on car journeys.
How do we know if this is a physical health concern (nausea or pain), fear or anxiety, fear learning, anticipatory excitement, frustration or something else?
And, how do we start unpicking behaviours to find the emotional motivation and behavioural drivers?
Have a listen as we chat through different thoughts and approaches, which medications may be useful and the discussions we have about this topic on the ACVB List serve.
One of my passion projects – and indeed the topic of my residency research – is stress management during air travel in pets and while air- and car travel are different in some respects, they also share a LOT of commonalities.
Here's a link to my review paper on Feline Stress Management during Air Travel, which I mention in the episode, and, of course, so much of this information can be extrapolated to dogs too !
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1098612X221145521
I absolutely loved chatting to Sharon, and I really hope you find this episode useful !

Episode 139 – Can I offer Veterinary Behaviour Consultations without being a Trainer?
This episode was inspired by a Zoom Call question from one of my lovely participants of Learn To Speak Dog and Learn To Speak Cat, who is in the process of setting up a Veterinary Behaviour Service in a new hospital she has started working in.
Her concern is that she can't yet offer consultations as she has not yet found aligned trainers to work with who can support her in her cases.
What do you think my thoughts and advice were to her?
Have a listen to this episode to find out and to hear more about my own personal journey and how I currently manage the "Behaviour Modification" or "Training" element of the Veterinary Behaviour Treatment Plan.
If you'd like the chance to ask me your questions in person, you can do that in our Live Group Zoom Calls in the following courses:

138 To Avoid or not to Avoid – That is the Question!
The avoidance of triggers and stimuli is such an important part of the treatment plan and falls into the Management "M" of the "7 Ms" Veterinary Behaviour Treatment Plan Template!
However, it is also the part that gets possibly the most pushback from caregivers for a number of different reasons.
In this episode, I chat through those reasons as well as why I believe avoidance is so important for brain processes and eventually achieving a successful outcome.
I also talk about the risks to the pet when we don't avoid and continue to expose them to threatening or frustrating triggers.
Finally, I talk about some of the strategies I use to get caregivers on board and how we eventually do start the process of re-introduction to those triggers, stimuli and contexts.
If you are a behaviourist or trainer working in practice, you may be very familiar with this topic and listening to my approach and reasoning may give you a different way of tackling some of these conversations.
If you'd like to learn more about the "7 Ms" approach to Veterianry Beahviour Treatment Plans, then my Masterclass on exactly this topic is for you:

Episode 137 – Interoception – The 8th Sense
This episode was inspired by the 3rd Case Call of "The Behaviour Case Collective" Membership where Dr Amber Batson and I co-presented a case where gastro-intestinal health had a big impact on Behaviour.
During this conversation, the idea of Interoception was spoken about, and I thought it would be a GREAT topic to dive into!
Interoception is one of the 3 "Hidden Senses" and is essentially a sensory system that provides a dialogue between the brain and the inside of the body.
In this episode you will learn:
1. What Interoception is and how it fits in with the other 7 senses.
2. How altered Interoception can affect our patients.
3. How to apply treatment and therapy strategies to improve Interoception.
I really hope you find this episode valuable and that it gives you food for thought when assessing your own Behaviour Patients!

Episode 136 – Cooperative Care with Charlotte Lewis
I am always talking about bridging the gap between Veterinary Professionals and great non-Veterinary Professionals and encouraging more collaborative ways of working to best serve our patients and their families.
So, when I heard that Charlotte runs a Cooperative Care Service at her local Veterinary Practice, provides CPD to the Vets at the practice as well as educational classes to the practice's clients, I just knew I had to chat to her to find out more!
In this episode, Charlotte and I chat about the benefits of Cooperative Care and Gentle Handling for the patients, the caregivers and the veterinary teams, and the kinds of cases that could benefit most from these approaches.
Charlotte also provides some really simple, easy and effective tools for helping patients feel safer in the veterinary practice – tools that anyone working in most practices can easily learn and implement!
We round up the podcast with an emotional conversation about the things Charlotte has learned from the veterinary team at the practice – resilience, a desire to show up no matter how big the emotional strain and a true love and commitment to the profession and the patients they serve – which left us both a little teary!
This is one you'll definitely not want to miss !
If you'd like to learn more about reducing Fear and Stress at the Veterinary Clinic, then my brand new Masterclass – "The 4 Pillars of reducing Fear and Stress at the Veterinary Clinic" is just the thing for you: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/four-pillars

In this episode, I chat to Registered Veterinary Nurse and Behaviour Advocate, Nikki McLeod, about ways in which we can make Behaviour Medicine more relevant and accessible to vets and other team members in general practice.
Many of us who are behaviourally aware know all too well how frustrating it can be when other team members don't share that same awareness or approach.
Listen as I share some of the strategies I have found effective in "onboarding" other team members to start thinking with awareness for mental and emotional wellbeing, the challenges that we still face and how the industry has changed for the better in the last 25+ years!
If you are a vet, nurse, receptionist or other vet team member and you'd like to know more about becoming more behaviourally aware, then this episode is for you!

Episode 133 – What's new in CCDS – Working Group Guidelines for Diagnosis and Monitoring
In this episode, I talk through the 2026 Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Working Group Guidelines for Diagnosis and Monitoring of CCDS.
As a caregiver of a senior dog myself, this is a topic very close to my heart, so when these guidelines came out, I had to dig into them to get the very latest information on CCDS.
Written by a group of amazing experts, including Behaviour, Neurology and Medicine Specialists as well as a number of General Practitioners, these guidelines provide a framework for diagnosis and monitoring of CCDS, highlight the challenges associated with this and look towards new developments in the future.
Have a listen as I provide you with my Top 10 Summary points of the guidelines and how they relate to practical clinical cases and what I have experienced with my own patients.
Here is a link to the Paper:
Olby, N.J., Araujo, J.A., Gruen, M.E., Johnson, P., Kubinyi, E., Landsberg, G., Latimer, C.S., McGrath, S., McKenzie, B., Moreno, J.A. and Tarantino, M., 2026.

Episode 128 – Safety & Predictability, Control, Choice & Agency
The last 4 weeks of our lives here in Abu Dhabi have been interesting to say the least. Being under constant threat from Iranian missiles and hearing the loud "booms" of the interceptors taking care of them has been like nothing I have experienced before.
Living in this state of unrest really got me thinking about what we take for granted – the feeling of safety and predictability in our everyday lives and being able to live with a sense of control, choice and agency.
I also know that this is not the case for many of my patients.
Living in a constant state of fear or anxiety with little predictability of the environment and/or social relationships can be hugely debilitating and will affect quality of life, wellbeing and welfare.
There are some really easy ways to introduce more of these important welfare factors into your pets' and patients' lives and I chat you through some of my favourite ways of doing so.
All it takes is to make some small changes to implement these foundational needs!

Episode 127 – 15-minute Speed Coaching with Dr Julie Liu
Welcome to another 15-minute Speed Coaching Session for Veterinary and Pet Care Professionals!
The rules of the game are as follows:
· Episodes will be in-the-moment, off-the-cuff and unscripted.
· Coaching sessions will be 15 Minutes MAXIMUM, so wherever we finish, we finish…
· Which means that we might not find complete resolution to your question, but we will certainly get the thought process started!
In this episode, I chat to US veterinarian, Dr Julie Liu, about one of my favourite topics – Inter-Cat Aggression or Inter-Cat Tension and what we can do if management such as strict separation of the cats is not possible.
Have a listen as we chat through some unique management options, especially if space is restricted and how to balance all elements of the Veterinary Behaviour Treatment Plan in order to get the best outcomes for these patients.
If you'd like to book a 30-minute Vet-Vet or Vet-Pet Care Professional Consultation with me, you can do that right here:

If you can't find an appointment time to suit you, please email us at [email protected] to find a time that suits us both!

Episode 126 – The Trinity Treatment Plan Template
I created this Treatment Plan Template to help keep me focused and organized during consultations and to ensure that I didn't miss a thing when writing my comprehensive report for my caregivers.
Based on the "7 M" approach to creating Veterinary Behaviour Treatment Plans, this template covers all the bases, ensures you don't overwhelm caregivers with too much information while still providing a comprehensive treatment strategy.
I love resources like this one and I wish I had had it sooner, for example during my residency when I was often seeing 3 initial consultations per day and was sometimes overwhelmed with all the information to remember and digest!
You can find the Trinity Treatment Plan Template in a number of different places:
1. As part of the "Designing a beautiful Veterinary Behaviour Treatment Plan" Masterclass right here:
https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/treatment-plans
2. As part of the "Professional Guides" E-Book right here:
https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/trinity-ebook
3. As part of The Behaviour Case Collective Membership right here:
https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/behaviour-case-collective
I really hope you find this resource as useful as I do!

Episode 125 – Behaviour and Thyroid Disease
This is a big topic, and I really enjoyed diving into it.
I think we can all agree that the outdated notion that low thyroid hormone levels in dogs directly causes aggression is exactly that – outdated.
However, changes or dysregulation in thyroid hormone levels in both dogs and cats can still affect behaviour and this is what I chat about in this episode.
Here are some of the things I mention in the episode:
· The differences in canine and feline thyroid disease
· Causes of hypothyroidism in dogs
· Incidence of hypothyroidism in the canine population
· Hormone cascade regulation
· Clinical signs of hypothyroidism and how these can affect behaviour
I also talk about the complexities of diagnosis of thyroid disease and how this can be influenced by certain medications.
Here are the studies I reference in the episode:
Gulikers, K.P. and Panciera, D.L., 2003. Evaluation of the effects of clomipramine on canine thyroid function tests. Journal of veterinary internal medicine, 17(1), pp.44-49.
Radosta, L.A., Shofer, F.S. and Reisner, I.R., 2012. Comparison of thyroid analytes in dogs aggressive to familiar people and in non-aggressive dogs. The Veterinary Journal, 192(3), pp.472-475.
Dodman, N.H., Aronson, L., Cottam, N. and Dodds, J.W., 2013. The effect of thyroid replacement in dogs with suboptimal thyroid function on owner-directed aggression: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Journal of Veterinary Behavior, 8(4), pp.225-230.
Carter, G.R., Scott-Moncrieff, J.C., Luescher, A.U. and Moore, G., 2009. Serum total thyroxine and thyroid stimulating hormone concentrations in dogs with behavior problems. Journal of Veterinary Behavior, 4(6), pp.230-236.
Hrovat, A., De Keuster, T., Kooistra, H.S., Duchateau, L., Oyama, M.A., Peremans, K. and Daminet, S., 2019. Behavior in dogs with spontaneous hypothyroidism during treatment with levothyroxine. Journal of veterinary internal medicine, 33(1), pp.64-71.
I really hope you enjoy this episode!
