You are invited to the next installation of Royal Canin's 2022 virtual event series as we connect vets and vet nurses across Australia and New Zealand with an expert panel to discuss animal behaviour in clinical practice.

Your host, Royal Canin Scientific Services Veterinarian, Dr. Chantelle McGowan, will be joined by Animal Behaviour Experts, Dr. Jacqui Ley and Dr. Trepheena Hunter. Together they will unpack the multimodal approach to animal behaviour, including the role of nutrition such as ROYAL CANINĀ® CALM diets.

Dr. Jacqui Ley graduated from the University of Melbourne in 1995 and worked in companion animal practice in metropolitan Melbourne.
