Episode 24 – Anxious Puppies – Eva and Atlas’s Story
What is the right age to start treating puppies with mental, emotional, and behavioural ill health disorders?
Well, the answer is that it is never too early.
If a puppy had a bacterial infection or was in pain, we would not withhold antibiotics or pain relief, therefore, why would we not do the same when it comes to mental and emotional ill health?
In this episode, Dr Katrin chats to Eva, whose lovely boy Atlas was just such a puppy, about their journey together and how Atlas is doing now.
Listen as they talk about:
1. Early life influences.
2. Being committed to behavioural health.
3. Understanding that there are good days and not so good days in any behavioural journey.
4. How psychopharmaceutical medication helped Atlas be less fearful and reactive and grow into a wonderful, well-adjusted adult dog.
Here is the paper Dr Katrin mentions during the podcast:

Episode 31 – Fears, Phobias and Anxiety
So many of our pets struggle with anxiety or specific fears and phobias.
But how can we tell if this is just a normal and adaptive response to the pet’s environment or if they are “abnormal” or maladaptive responses that need treatment?
