My office door when I (finally) made it into work today. One of my lovely colleagues edited my return date to compensate for AirNZMedia cancelling my flight home from ANZCVS #vetscienceweek2023

I have been replacing ā€˜environmental enrichment’ for a while now. My current replacement is ā€˜environmental optimisation’. Not sure about ā€˜well resourced’…I will ponder it.

What does it mean to be safe around dogs (and cats)? Dogs are awesome, but there are some things we could do to make our interactions with them even better - for us and them! #dogs #stopbeingamonkey rnz.co.nz/national/progr…

Day 1 of our first Underground event with @sproutagritech was fab! I am learning so much on this #accelerator programme. And we got this sweet engraved drink bottle. #business #agritech #startups #AkoVet

I enjoyed talking about what to feed our companion animals with Katherine Ryan on RNZ - Nine To Noon yesterday. The audience had so many great questions - from milk for cats to vegan diets. Thanks, everyone, for being so engaged in the conversation! rnz.co.nz/national/progr…

Just out šŸ“£ Do You Believe In Dog? 🐶 Mia Cobb Morgan Heslop and I had a lot of fun bringing this together. We discuss concepts like: #agency, #choice, #control, #challenge, #competency, #umwelt, and #environmentalenrichment. What do these terms mean for positive animal welfare assessment?

Ugh. This is unfortunate news for animal welfare. Flat-faced breeds like the French Bulldog spend their lives struggling to breathe through narrow airways that we have bred into them. Sad news.
