In many cases, focusing exclusively on physical health or on behavior limits our ability to foster overall well-being and achieve successful outcomes for animals. The goal of this course is to help you better understand these connections so that you can best serve animals and their people—whether you work in a veterinary or training environment.
In this course, we will discuss the intersections among physical health and behavior, the impacts of stress, and the connection among immune function, the microbiome, pain, and behavior.
This course was written by myself, Kristina Spaulding, PhD, CAAB and Amy Learn, VMD, DACVB, IAABC-CABC and is approved for ONE hour of RACE CE.
