Muzzles, if fitted and used correctly, can be such useful pieces of equipment for our dogs. Whether you are a novice pet owner or an experienced one, muzzles may occasionally be necessary for various reasons.
Before we delve into the process of teaching your dog to happily wear a muzzle, it is essential to make sure our furry friends have a comfortable and well-fitting muzzle.
Our amazing Behaviour Modification Expert, Ilse, will guide you through every step of measuring your dog for and fitting them with the perfect muzzle, using exclusively gentle, force-free methods.🐶🙏🏻♥️

Collaboration is so important to me.
We should be - need to be - collaborating with other veterinary professionals and specialists, trainers, physiotherapists, the patient’s family and possibly so many more in order to achieve good outcomes for our patients.
And, let’s face it, that’s what we all want – improvements in health, both physical and mental/emotional – for our patients.
The days are over where we all try to solve these difficult cases on our own, we have to start working together and supporting and lifting each other up to help our patients get the help and care they deserve!

This is one of my FAVOURITE resources ever!!
The Stahl’s psychopharmacology Prescriber’s Guide.
Even though this is a human psychopharmacology resource, it is so valuable for us in Veterinary Behaviour Medicine as it provides an at-a-glance guide to the majority of psychopharmaceutical medications commonly used in human medicine and therefore also in veterinary medicine.
It is easy to use and provides so many pearls of wisdom.
Highly recommended for anyone interested in Veterinary Psychiatry and Veterinary Behaviour Medicine!

Have you ever wondered what a Veterinary Behaviour Treatment Plan looks like?
Well, no 2 treatment plans are ever quite the same as they are tailored to each individual patient and family, however, the pillars of the treatment plans are mostly the same for each patient.
Have a listen to this video to find out more!

I love being able to treat my patients as individuals and really being able to consider their individual needs, whether those are physical, breed specific, social, environmental or brain health needs.
Having a 2-hour consultation slot gives me the time to do this – get a really thorough history, spend time with the patient and their families to really understand what is important to everyone.
Not having to rush and really taking that time is hugely fulfilling and sets us up to creating a solid treatment plan tailored to each individual patient.

Here is part 3 of “Why I love my job”.
I LOVE all things psychopharmacology, and this is a really big part of the Clinical Veterinary Behaviour work that I am now mainly involved with.
Seeing a patient’s mental and emotional health improve and seeing them be calmer, happier, more relaxed, more joyful, more playful, more interactive with their families fills me with immense joy.
It is NEVER our aim to turn a patient into a “Zombie”, which is unfortunately what so many people think psychopharmaceuticals do. This is almost never the case and if it should be the case, then that particular medication was not right for the patient, and we have to think again.
This is why I keep extremely close contact with any patients that I start on psychopharmaceutical medication, checking in with them every 24-48 hours in the first 2 weeks of medication, when side effects can be expected
#lovemyjob, #lovemylife, #veterinarymedicine, #vetmed, #fulfilled, #veterinarybehaviour, #veterinarybehavior, #veterinarybehaviourmedicine, #vocation, #fortheloveofanimals, #animalwelfare
Psychopharmaceutical medication use is ALL about neurotransmission.
Knowing how psychopharmaceuticals work in the brain, which neurotransmitter systems are targeted and how we can positively affect these neurotransmitters is the cornerstone of psychopharmaceutical use.
This knowledge informs our choices, which patients and presentations to use which medication for, which patients NOT to use a specific medication for, how psychopharmaceuticals may interact with other medications and what side effects and contra-indications we should consider.

Here’s part 2 of “Why I love my job”
I wanted to be a vet since I can remember and my earliest memory of this is following the vet around the stables when he came to visit a horse when I was maybe 13 years old. Everything fascinated me – the stethoscope, the injections, the vets themselves, how it made me feel to think that they were helping an animal – all of it!
I just can’t imagine doing anything else and I know how lucky I am to be able to say this !
Why do YOU love doing what you do? Would you have chosen a different path if you had that choice to make again or are you choosing a new path that you love now?

I often get asked why I love my job and what I love most about it.
I don’t think I can answer that in 30 seconds, but I’ll share my 5 part “Highlights of why I love my Job” over the next weeks!
Here is part 1!
Why do YOU love YOUR job? What fulfils you the most? Please share below!! 👇

After an 18 hour journey, Sky arrived safely in the UK on Thursday evening !
He was tired, but calm and happy to see me at the other end.
Air travel is stressful for our pets, whether they are dogs, cats, horses or other species.
Preparing pets for air travel is an area I specialise in.
GVC’s Pet Relocation Service sends around 250 pets by air every year to all corners of the globe and we have made stress management throughout this process (of both the pets and their pet parents 🤭) an absolute priority!
There are SO many things that can be done to reduce stress during air travel and I provide a custom made stress management plan for each global traveller !
Let me know if you have questions about air travel in pets !!

Sniffing is such an important Behaviour for your doggies !
Make the majority of your walks “sniff walks” where you allow your dog to lead you and sniff to their heart’s content 🐾🐾❤️❤️
Finding out what motivates your individual dog is a great place to start when you want to start teaching them things !!
Lay out a little tasting platter for them and see which item they choose first !
This is likely going to be a high value item for them and something to use when you teach them but remember that this can change from day to day !!
Let us know below what motivates YOUR dog 👇👇
Any guesses what little Lizzie cat is up to here ?
Yes, she is in deep sleep, also known as REM (rapid eye movement) sleep.
REM sleep is also called “sleep of the body” as the brain is still very active during this type of sleep.
People that wake up from REM sleep often report that they have been dreaming, so maybe our pets dream too when in this phase of sleep 😴.
REM sleep is likely involved in brain development, memory formation and learning which is why puppies and kittens have more REM sleep than adults !
Sleep is hugely import for all mammals and cats spend up to 16 hours per day asleep !!!
Horses can only fall into REM sleep when lying down which is why, if they can’t lie down - due to injury or lacking space, for example - they may suffer huge problems due to lack of REM sleep.
So… make sure your pets have lots of opportunity and space for deep, uninterrupted sleep ! Their mental health depends on it !! 🛌 😴 💤

⭐️ TOP TIP ⭐️
SCENT BOXES… a whole world for your dog to explore in the comfort of their own home !!
As a Veterinary Behaviour Team, we deal with a lot of patients who are really fearful… and sometimes that can mean being fearful of leaving the home.
We also know that not all dogs like going out in all weather ! Here in the UAE, it can reach 50C in the summer which many dogs struggle to tolerate.
Europe, on the other hand, is currently in the middle of a cold spell which can be equally uncomfortable!!
So…. How can we ensure that our dogs get enough mental stimulation and are still able to sniff ?
EASY !! Bring the outside in with an amazing Scent Box !!

This is such an important message… and applies to all species - both 2- and 4-legged !
The way we think about something and, importantly, the language that we use, strongly affects our actions and emotions and how these impact others !
Thinking about an animal behaving badly somehow implies that they are at fault whereas thinking about the same situation in terms of an emotional struggle evokes empathy and negates blame !
Next time you feel your pet is misbehaving, take a moment to really think and consider whether you could see things differently.

Just imagine being in a country where you don’t speak the language and you can’t read the signs…
This is how our pets must feel living in our sometimes crazy world…
So, what can we do ?
Actively seek to educate ourselves on how our pets communicate and then, most importantly, respect that communication!
Watch this space for our soon to come amazing courses:
LEARN TO SPEAK DOG 🐕
LEARN TO SPEAK CAT 🐈
…where we will teach you in a super fun and engaging way to understand you furry friend better so you can have the best possible relationship with them and become the best pet guardian you can be !!

It’s been a busy week for all of us at Trinity and GVC…
I’ve seen lots of cases this week and I think this sums up my week a bit…
The whole idea of “Trinity” comes from the belief in treating the triad of mental, emotional and physical health - seeing the patient holistically and recognizing but not isolating symptoms.
Often, gastrointestinal or dermatological symptoms can be a manifestation of anxiety.
Obviously, it is important to investigate and diagnose any underlying physical conditions, but, if the patient does not improve, or if signs are recurring it is in the patient’s interest to keep an open mind and explore other avenues !
We’d love to hear your stories and experiences! ⭐️⭐️
