Episode 58 – A conversation with Dr Hannah Capon – Pain, Behaviour, Dealing with Chronic Disease and so much more…
This has got to be one of my most favourite conversations on The Pet Behaviour Chat so far.
Dr Hannah Capon is the founder of UK based Canine Arthritis Management – www.caninearthitis.co.uk – and an absolute powerhouse when it comes to advocating for pets, especially dogs, with osteoarthritis and other chronic pain conditions and supporting their caregivers in the diagnosis and management of these serious diseases.
This conversation delves into so much more though…
Hannah and I chat about the similarities between Chronic Pain Management and Veterinary Behaviour Medicine, the very real Caregiver Burden that is faced by both pet owners and veterinary professionals alike, we both speak about our own personal experiences with Burnout throughout our careers and we consider the way forwards and what needs to change when thinking about managing chronic diseases in our pets.
This is such an inspirational conversation that touches on the need for good Coaching Skills, re-thinking veterinary appointments and veterinary clinical spaces and what can be done in the future to support both caregivers and veterinary professionals dealing with chronic diseases better.

Episode 56 – The Importance of Enrichment and Behavioural Diversity
Enrichment and Behavioural Diversity are 2 buzzwords that are used quite frequently when it comes to providing our pets with opportunities to express their behavioural needs.
In this episode, Ilse and I chat about what Enrichment and Behavioural Diversity actually are and whether the term “enrichment” is appropriate for what we should be providing for our pets on a daily basis.
We also talk about different types of “enrichment” as well as how these fit into not only our Behaviour Treatment Plans, but also our pets’ everyday lives.
You will be able to take away instant practical tips and solutions for YOUR pet’s or patient’s wellbeing, which you can implement immediately.
Here is what we talk about:
1. Why “enrichment” might not be the best term when it comes to our pets’ behavioural needs.
2. How different forms of “enrichment” can provide different outlets for behaviour.
3. Why “contra freeloading” is an important concept to know about.
4. How social enrichment is different for different species.
5. How different types of enrichment can overlap to provide multiple benefits all at once.

Episode 55 – Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome – Does Doggie Dementia Exist?
I love talking about senior pets and this is definitely a topic close to my heart!
As our pets age, their behaviours may change, and we need to understand what the causes of those behaviour changes may be.
Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome is a neurodegenerative disease, which sadly cannot be cured, but can be treated to slow its progression and, in this episode, I chat to you about what you can do to achieve this.
In this episode I talk about:
1. How many dogs are affected by Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome
2. What the expected behaviour changes look like – the DISHAA scale
3. What changes occur in the brain
4. What medications, supplements and diets can help slow down progression
5. How environmental management, enrichment and mental stimulation can help

Episode 54 – Street Cats – Should we “Rescue” or “Home” them?
This is a big topic with many opinions to consider from different stakeholders.
Nora and I chat about our experiences of this topic here in the UAE and about some of the cases we have seen where cats that previously lived on the street were brought into homes and developed Behaviour Problems as a result.
We also chat about the unique characteristics of the Arabian Mau cat that is found in this part of the world and how their unique-ness affects their behavioural needs.
I talk about genetics, epigenetics and how the socialization period may affect some of these patients and Nora tells us all about her Arabian Mau cat, Freddie, and what he taught her.
Find out also how the “5 Freedoms” framework helps us assess the welfare of our patients.
We understand that this is a controversial topic and that there are no right or wrong answers, however, we do need to always consider the welfare and quality of life of all our patients and indeed that animals that we invite into our homes and lives.
Here is the resource that I mention in the episode:

Episode 53 – Separation Anxiety – To crate or not to crate, that is the question
Welcome to the first episode in this second year of The Pet Behaviour Chat Podcast!
This episode was inspired by a Facebook post I saw in one of our local dog groups where an alarming number of people advised the poster, who has a dog showing Separation Related Behaviours to “just get a crate for the dog and put it in the crate when you are away from the home”.
This approach has so many potential pitfalls and could actually do more harm than good when it comes to the welfare of the dog in question.
Have a listen to this episode where I chat through my thoughts on this issue and highlight the potential problems that could arise from recommendations such as this one.
Don’t get me wrong, a crate or a safe space *may* be an option for some dogs, but it is not ok to just make blanket statements or recommendations such as this when the details of the case are not fully known.
Listen as I chat through:
1. The importance of obtaining an accurate diagnosis
2. The importance of the dog feeling comfortable in a crate
3. The underlying mental and emotional health implications and motivations
4. Why blanket statements such as this can actually make things worse
5. How we, as Veterinary Behaviourists, always consider the long-term health and longevity of a good quality life for the pets in our care
Here are some of the resources I mention in the episode:
1. King, J. N., Simpson, B. S., Overall, K. L., Appleby, D., Pageat, P., Ross, C., Chaurand, J. P., Heath, S., Beata, C., Weiss, A. B., Muller, G., Paris, T., Bataille, B.

Episode 52 – What we have learned from a year of Veterinary Behaviour Podcast!
I cannot believe that it has been a year since I started The Pet Behaviour Chat Podcast!
This has been such a passion project of mine, and I have loved every minute of recording both the solo episodes as well as the amazing episodes with my wonderful guests.

In this episode I chat with Nora and Ilse about what the highlights of the last year have been for all of us, and we reminisce about our episodes, our Fear Free accreditation journey and the many pets we have helped over the last 52 weeks!
I would love for you to tune in to this episode and listen to our journey past, present and what we have in store for the future!

In this episode you will learn:

Episode 40– Noise Fear and Phobias – What you need to know!
Did you know that up to 50% of our pet dogs suffer from noise sensitivity, fear of noises or even noise phobias?
That is a HUGE amount and most of them go undiagnosed and untreated. And that means that many of our pets suffer, either on a daily basis or during specific noise events such as fireworks and thunderstorms.
Cats are likely also affected by noises, but because they tend to hide in these circumstances, pet caregivers might not notice this, and they are even less likely to get the help they might need.
In this episode, Dr Katrin chats about:
· The different diagnoses when it comes to noises - is it a phobia, fear or sensitivity?

Episode 39 - Brain Health and Behaviour
This episode is all about how brain health affects behaviour.
Our brain does not exist in isolation from the rest of our body and so changes in the rest of our body can affect brain health, and therefore behaviour.
Physical health, but also genetics, epigenetics, early life development and learning can all affect the brain, the brain’s health and, ultimately, behaviour.
In this episode, you will learn:
· How genetics and epigenetics affect behaviour
· How small details such as where a puppy is located in their mom’s womb can affect behaviour
· Why Neurotransmitters are EVERYTHING 😊
· What happens if communication in the brain is disrupted
· How neurological, gastro-intestinal and dermatological disease as well as pain can affect behaviour
