Bristol 2nd yr degree animal behaviour & welfare students visiting Holly Hedge & Applied Zoopharmacognosy

Holly Hedge is an animal sanctuary located in Bristol specialising in cats, dogs and guinea pigs.

 Last week 18 Animal Behaviour and Welfare degree students from  Bristol University Vet School came to visit the Sanctuary. I was asked to introduce Applied Zoopharmacognosy with a demo and explanation. Time was limited but it went across very well with students wanting to learn more, so are coming back next week so see a full session in practice.  Hopefully Tom will be able to do a talk at the university to explain the scientific mechanisms involved, which they were also very interested in.

I have just began doing some volunteer work there and had great success with the dog I worked with. He had been the longest in the kennels having been there for the past 7 months. Shortly after working with him he was re homed.

 I  hope to be holding future courses and cpds at Holly Hedge.  Groups will be small. If anyone is interested please contact the office.
