Dick Vet Behaviour & Nutrition Conference
On Saturday 24th February, the Dick Vet Animal Behaviour
Society and RDSVS Nutrition Society hosted their second joint Behaviour and
Nutrition Conference. It was an excellent day, with 114 attendees consisting of
students and staff from both the Dick Vet and Glasgow Vet School.
The day started early with breakfast before kicking off a
full day of lectures on behaviour and nutrition topics. Behaviour talks
included:-
- Training for Common Behaviour Problems with Dogs Trust Senior Behaviour and Training Adviser Alasdair Bunyan;
- Aggression in Farm Species with R(D)SVS’ own Paul Wood; and
- How to Run a Behaviour Consult with University of Lincoln’s veterinary behaviourist Kevin McPeake.

Nutrition talks covered:-
- Dispelling Nutrition Myths with Royal Canin’s Hannah Poile;
- The Power of Innovative Nutrition in Clinical Practice with Dick Vet graduate Emma Henton from Hill’s Pet Nutrition; and
- Nutrition for Wildlife with Jess Crabtree from the Hessilhead Wildlife Rescue.
The day concluded with a wine and cheese reception which
gave the delegates time to relax and chat with each other and with the guest
speakers. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive and clearly showed the desire
for more behaviour and nutrition teaching for vet students!
