Episode 87 – The importance of sleep in our pets – a conversation with Dr Carrie Tooley

Sleep!!!!
Honestly, this is a topic I have been thinking about so much lately and this amazing conversation with Dr Carrie Tooley just reinforces how important sleep is to the mental and emotional health of our pets and patients!

What you’ll learn in this episode:
1. How sleep plays a role in emotional arousal and emotional regulation in our pets and patients.
2. How long our pets should actually be sleeping every day (this will surprise you, especially in puppies and kittens !!!).
3. What we can do in our homes to help our pets get consistently good quality sleep.
4. What we can do in our hospitals and clinics to help our patients get consistently good quality sleep.
5. What the amazing research and case report by Carrie tell us about the importance of sleep in our pets and patients.

Here are the studies by Carrie and colleagues which we talk about in the episode:
1. Tooley, C., & Heath, S. E. (2022). Sleep Characteristics in Dogs; Effect on Caregiver-Reported Problem Behaviours. Animals, 12(14). https://doi.org/10.3390/ani12141753

2. Tooley, C., & Heath, S. E. (2023). Emotional Arousal Impacts Physical Health in Dogs: A Review of Factors Influencing Arousal, with Exemplary Case and Framework. Animals, 13(3), 1–14. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani13030465

This is something that is traditionally not thought about a lot.

That behaviour is a result of emotional state and need.
The need to feel safe.
The need to perform species- and breed specific behaviors.
The need to be in homeostasis.
The need to feel physical comfort.
The need for species-typical appropriate social interactions.
And so many more…

Behaviour is not about being “good” or “bad”.
Not about obedience or compliance.
Not about imposing our human desires and perceptions on the animals we live with.

But rather about understanding.
Needs being met.
Communication and respect.
Being able to cope with and live in a human world.

This is what I think about when I see my patients.
What I build into my treatment plans.
What I talk about with my caregivers.
And what I hope to bring to my colleagues.

Does this resonate with you ?
Then welcome to my world ! ❤️🐾

This is a conversation I’ve had with 2 of my clients this week.

🐾 The fact that a growl can save a bite.

🐾 The fact that all canine communication is driven my underlying motivation, emotional state, behavioural needs or physical health.

Your dog is telling you something...

🐾 That they don’t feel safe.

🐾 That they hurt somewhere.

🐾 That they don’t like the interaction or physical touch that is being offered or imposed on them.

🐾 That they don’t feel comfortable in a social setting.

🐾 That they are scared.

❤ So many possibilities.

❤ So many conversations they are trying to have.

⭐️ It is our job to respect their communication.

⭐️ To get curious about what they are trying to tell us.

⭐️ To not punish them for communicating.

🐾 To keep everyone safe.

🐾 Including them.

If you want to learn more about Canine Communication, then this is the course for you!

I know the message is starting to get out there…🌟🐾

But I don’t think you can sing this one enough!🤩😻

If you have noticed a change in your pet’s behaviour, especially if it has been sudden, then physical disease involving pain and/or discomfort HAS to be a consideration!🐈🐕

Pet Parents, Vets, Vet Nurses and Pet Care Professionals, please look for pain when Behaviour Change is present!🌟🐾

Episode 86 – Behaviour Signs and Neurotransmitters

When I first started out in Veterinary Behaviour Medicine, knowing which Behaviour Medication to choose for any given patients was a real struggle. I didn’t really know what to base my choices on, often reached for the same medication over and over again without really knowing why and just hoping that I’d made the right decision.
Sound familiar?
As I progressed through my residency, I started to understand how behavioural signs are correlated with neurotransmitters in the brain and how to make really smear medication choices to affect these neurotransmitter levels.
In this episode I chat through exactly this and give some examples of how to start thinking about which medications to choose according to the signs the patient is showing.

Here’s the FREE PDF download I mention in the episode:

And here is the link to PSYCHOACTIVE – PRACTICAL VETERINARY PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY

This course is epic.
This course is my soul's work and contains the wisdom I want to share with you after safely and effectively using Veterinary Psychopharmacology in hundreds of my patients.
