How pain affects our pets' behaviour

How do we know when our cats and dogs are in pain? And how does pain affect their behaviour? These are among the topics being explored by Dr Sarah Heath, keynote speaker at next weekend's Kiwi Vet Behaviour Conference. Dr Heath is a UK-based veterinary specialist recognised for helping establish Behavioural Medicine as a discipline. Dr Heath will address the relationship between animal cognition, emotions and behaviour, also how vets can improve the design of their practices to make a visit more pleasant for an animal patient, especially cats.
