My Story
"During my time in general practice, I frequently encountered pets with behavioural concerns but had limited options for referral. Wanting to better understand these cases, I developed a strong interest in behaviour and went on to complete a Master's degree in Clinical Animal Behaviour.
Through my studies, I gained a deeper understanding of behavioural medicine and learned that many behavioural challenges in pets are linked to underlying medical conditions, including chronic pain. As both a veterinary surgeon and a behaviourist, I am able to consider both the medical and behavioural aspects of each case, allowing for a more comprehensive approach to assessment and treatment."- Nick
