Director & Behaviour Veterinarian

"Animals are fascinating! How and why they do what they do is so interesting to me – the way the brain functions, how an animal’s development, environment and learning all interact to influence the way it behaves. As in human psychology, psychiatry and brain function knowledge is increasing and we are starting to learn really exciting and interesting new things in this field. Seeing the transformation of a terrified and nervous animal, with gentle and appropriate care, to enjoying life along with the owner’s wellbeing also improving is very rewarding."
