  145 PVPs for Cats 27.07.2026 25min

  Episode 145 – PVPs for Cats   Cats can be extremely fearful at the Veterinary Clinic and being able to administer medications such as gabapentin before vet visits has been absolutely game-changing for feline practice in the last 10 years or so.   Have a listen as I talk you through PVP options other than gabapentin, what doses I commonly use, and which situations I might use them in. I also talk about a very exciting presentation I listened to from the Veterinary Behaviour Symposium in Seattle this June, on the use of Sileoâ (dexmedetomidine OTM gel) in cats.   Here are the papers I reference in this episode: Van Haaften, K.A., Forsythe, L.R.E., Stelow, E.A. and Bain, M.J., 2017. Effects of a single preappointment dose of gabapentin on signs of stress in cats during transportation and veterinary examination. Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 251(10), pp.1175-1181.   Kruszka, M., Graff, E., Medam, T. and Masson, S., 2021.

  144 15 Minute Speed Coaching with Olivia Bury – Running a Successful VB Business 20.07.2026 23min

  Episode 144 – 15 Minute Speed Coaching with Olivia Bury – Running a Successful VB Business   Welcome to another 15-minute Speed Coaching Session for Veterinary and Pet Care Professionals! The rules of the game are as follows: ·         Episodes will be in-the-moment, off-the-cuff and unscripted. ·         Coaching sessions will be 15 Minutes MAXIMUM, so wherever we finish, we finish… ·         Which means that we might not find complete resolution to your question, but we will certainly get the thought process started!   In this episode, I chat to Veterinarian with a Special Interest in Behaviour, Dr Olivia Bury, about what makes a successful VB Business. We focus in on consultation times, client bookings, time management, report writing and so much more. Running a "successful" consultation process is, in my mind, one of the cornerstones of the VB process as it enables expectation-setting, rapport-building, the ability to extract relevant information and clear communication of the treatment plan. If you are a veterinarian or a non-veterinary behaviourist and you are conducting behaviour consultations, you will find this episode really useful !   I absolutely loved chatting to Olivia and I hope you enjoy the episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.   If you'd like to book a 30-minute Vet-Vet or Vet-Pet Care Professional Consultation with me, you can do that right here: https://calendly.com/trinityvet/teams-and-professionals If you can't find an appointment time to suit you, please email us at info@trinityvetbehaviour.com to find a time that suits us both!   If you'd like to know more about my case-based Veterinary Behaviour Membership – The Behaviour Case Collective – then you can do this right here:   https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/behaviour-case-collective   And… if YOU would like to be part of a 15-Minute Podcast Speed Coaching episode, then apply right here: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/assessments/2148527544   If you liked this episode of the show, Veterinary Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!   Facebook Group: Join The Veterinary Behaviour Community on Facebook   You can CONNECT with me: Website: Visit my website Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Instagram: Follow Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on Instagram Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Facebook: Join us on Trinity Veterinary Behaviour's Facebook page Trinity Veterinary Behaviour YouTube: Subscribe to Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on YouTube LinkedIn Profile: Connect with me on LinkedIn   Thank you for tuning in!

  143 Help! The Medications have stopped working! 13.07.2026 26min

  Episode 143 – Help! The Medications have stopped working!   This episode was inspired by a recent consultation where the caregiver had noted a deterioration in their pet's behaviour and wondered whether this was due to the "medications no longer working".   Have a listen as I chat through my top 5 things to consider when there is deterioration in behaviour and whether the medications are always to blame.   In this episode you'll learn about: ·         The timeline of side effects of the most commonly used baseline psychopharmaceuticals. ·         The importance of management and assessing physical health contributors. ·         The importance of life stages. ·         Other really important questions to ask when previously stable behaviour deteriorates.   I also chat a little bit about the Cytochrome P450 system and how medication interactions or concurrent use of other medications or supplements can affect psychopharmacology.   If you would like to learn more about my approach to Behaviour Cases, then join my amazing Membership – The Behaviour Case Collective - for monthly deep-dives into cases and case management approaches: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/behaviour-case-collective   And, if you'd like to learn more about the safely and effectively using Veterinary Psychopharmacology, then join my flagship PSYCHOACTIVE course here: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/psychoactive   I hope you enjoy this episode!   If you liked this episode of the show, Veterinary Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!   Facebook Group: Join The Veterinary Behaviour Community on Facebook   You can CONNECT with me: Website: Visit my website Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Instagram: Follow Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on Instagram Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Facebook: Join us on Trinity Veterinary Behaviour's Facebook page Trinity Veterinary Behaviour YouTube: Subscribe to Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on YouTube LinkedIn Profile: Connect with me on LinkedIn   Thank you for tuning in!

  142 Using Trazodone with SSRIs and TCAs 06.07.2026 16min

  Episode 142 – Using Trazodone with SSRIs and TCAs   Can trazodone be safely used in combination with and SSRI or TCA without causing signs of Serotonin Syndrome? This is one of the most frequently asked questions I hear, especially from GP vets.   Have a listen as I chat through my thoughts on this topic and refer back to one of the original studies on trazodone from 2008 where it was used as an augmenting agent for patients already on an SSRI or TCA to further improve signs of fear or anxiety.   I also talk about medication doses, and I mention 2 further papers where dogs and cats ingested their caregivers' anti-depressant medication and only 25% developed clinical signs consistent with SS.   Here are the papers I mention in the episode: Gruen, M.E. and Sherman, B.L., 2008. Use of trazodone as an adjunctive agent in the treatment of canine anxiety disorders: 56 cases (1995–2007). Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 233(12), pp.1902-1907.   Pugh, C.M., Sweeney, J.T., Bloch, C.P., Lee, J.A., Johnson, J.A. and Hovda, L.R., 2013. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) toxicosis in cats: 33 cases (2004–2010).

  141 Why "Gaba/Traz" is not always the best option 29.06.2026 18min

  Episode 141 – Why "Gaba/Traz" is not always the best option   This episode was inspired by a lecture I gave at BVA Live 2026 and the ensuing questions and discussion about the use of Pre-Visit Pharmaceuticals.   The truth is that while gabapentin and trazodone can be a good PVP combination for some canine patients, it should not be used as a "one size fits all" approach for all dogs requiring anxiolytic support at the veterinary clinic and we should, instead, consider each patient as an individual and tailor their medication regime accordingly.   In this episode I chat about: ·         Cats versus dogs when it comes to PVPs. ·         Why anxiolytic doses of gabapentin can cause vulnerability in canine patients with musculoskeletal disease. ·         Why trial doses at home are imperative. ·         Other options for PVP combinations.     If you are a vet who often reaches for "Gaba/Traz", then this episode is a good nudge to think about patient choices and other PVP options.   If you'd like to read more about these and related topics, our Professional Guides E-Book is a must-read for you : https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/trinity-ebook   And, if you'd like to learn more about Veterinary Psychopharmacology, you'll love my PSYCHOACTIVE course: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/psychoactive   I really hope you find this episode useful!   If you liked this episode of the show, Veterinary Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!   Facebook Group: Join The Veterinary Behaviour Community on Facebook   You can CONNECT with me: Website: Visit my website Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Instagram: Follow Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on Instagram Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Facebook: Join us on Trinity Veterinary Behaviour's Facebook page Trinity Veterinary Behaviour YouTube: Subscribe to Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on YouTube LinkedIn Profile: Connect with me on LinkedIn   Thank you for tuning in!

  140 15 Minute Speed Coaching with Sharon Jones – Dogs and Car Journeys 22.06.2026 23min

  Episode 140 – 15 Minute Speed Coaching with Sharon Jones – Dogs and Car Journeys   Welcome to another 15-minute Speed Coaching Session for Veterinary and Pet Care Professionals! The rules of the game are as follows: ·         Episodes will be in-the-moment, off-the-cuff and unscripted. ·         Coaching sessions will be 15 Minutes MAXIMUM, so wherever we finish, we finish… ·         Which means that we might not find complete resolution to your question, but we will certainly get the thought process started!   In this episode, I chat to Canine Dog Trainer and Behaviourist, Sharon Jones, about the challenges of working through cases where dogs show fear- or stress behaviours on car journeys. How do we know if this is a physical health concern (nausea or pain), fear or anxiety, fear learning, anticipatory excitement, frustration or something else? And, how do we start unpicking behaviours to find the emotional motivation and behavioural drivers? Have a listen as we chat through different thoughts and approaches, which medications may be useful and the discussions we have about this topic on the ACVB List serve.   One of my passion projects – and indeed the topic of my residency research – is stress management during air travel in pets and while air- and car travel are different in some respects, they also share a LOT of commonalities. Here's a link to my review paper on Feline Stress Management during Air Travel, which I mention in the episode, and, of course, so much of this information can be extrapolated to dogs too ! https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1098612X221145521   I absolutely loved chatting to Sharon, and I really hope you find this episode useful !   If you'd like to book a 30-minute Vet-Vet or Vet-Pet Care Professional Consultation with me, you can do that right here: https://calendly.com/trinityvet/teams-and-professionals If you can't find an appointment time to suit you, please email us at info@trinityvetbehaviour.com to find a time that suits us both!   If you'd like to know more about my case-based Veterinary Behaviour Membership – The Behaviour Case Collective – then you can do this right here:   https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/behaviour-case-collective   And… if YOU would like to be part of a 15-Minute Podcast Speed Coaching episode, then apply right here: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/assessments/2148527544   If you liked this episode of the show, Veterinary Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!   Facebook Group: Join The Veterinary Behaviour Community on Facebook   You can CONNECT with me: Website: Visit my website Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Instagram: Follow Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on Instagram Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Facebook: Join us on Trinity Veterinary Behaviour's Facebook page Trinity Veterinary Behaviour YouTube: Subscribe to Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on YouTube LinkedIn Profile: Connect with me on LinkedIn   Thank you for tuning in!

  139 Can I offer Veterinary Behaviour Consultations without being a Trainer? 15.06.2026 19min

  Episode 139 – Can I offer Veterinary Behaviour Consultations without being a Trainer?   This episode was inspired by a Zoom Call question from one of my lovely participants of Learn To Speak Dog and Learn To Speak Cat, who is in the process of setting up a Veterinary Behaviour Service in a new hospital she has started working in. Her concern is that she can't yet offer consultations as she has not yet found aligned trainers to work with who can support her in her cases.   What do you think my thoughts and advice were to her? Have a listen to this episode to find out and to hear more about my own personal journey and how I currently manage the "Behaviour Modification" or "Training" element of the Veterinary Behaviour Treatment Plan.   If you'd like the chance to ask me your questions in person, you can do that in our Live Group Zoom Calls in the following courses: Learn To Speak Dog - https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/learn-to-speak-dog Learn To Speak Cat - https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/learn-to-speak-cat Psychoactive - https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/psychoactive   And, of course, in my Membership Program – "The Behaviour Case Collective" https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/behaviour-case-collective   If you liked this episode of the show, Veterinary Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!   Facebook Group: Join The Veterinary Behaviour Community on Facebook   You can CONNECT with me: Website: Visit my website Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Instagram: Follow Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on Instagram Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Facebook: Join us on Trinity Veterinary Behaviour's Facebook page Trinity Veterinary Behaviour YouTube: Subscribe to Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on YouTube LinkedIn Profile: Connect with me on LinkedIn   Thank you for tuning in!

  138 To Avoid or not to Avoid – That is the Question! 08.06.2026 26min

  138 To Avoid or not to Avoid – That is the Question!   The avoidance of triggers and stimuli is such an important part of the treatment plan and falls into the Management "M" of the "7 Ms" Veterinary Behaviour Treatment Plan Template! However, it is also the part that gets possibly the most pushback from caregivers for a number of different reasons.   In this episode, I chat through those reasons as well as why I believe avoidance is so important for brain processes and eventually achieving a successful outcome. I also talk about the risks to the pet when we don't avoid and continue to expose them to threatening or frustrating triggers.   Finally, I talk about some of the strategies I use to get caregivers on board and how we eventually do start the process of re-introduction to those triggers, stimuli and contexts.   If you are a behaviourist or trainer working in practice, you may be very familiar with this topic and listening to my approach and reasoning may give you a different way of tackling some of these conversations.   If you'd like to learn more about the "7 Ms" approach to Veterianry Beahviour Treatment Plans, then my Masterclass on exactly this topic is for you: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/treatment-plans   If you liked this episode of the show, Veterinary Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!   Facebook Group: Join The Veterinary Behaviour Community on Facebook   You can CONNECT with me: Website: Visit my website Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Instagram: Follow Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on Instagram Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Facebook: Join us on Trinity Veterinary Behaviour's Facebook page Trinity Veterinary Behaviour YouTube: Subscribe to Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on YouTube LinkedIn Profile: Connect with me on LinkedIn   Thank you for tuning in!

  137 Interoception – The 8th Sense 01.06.2026 28min

  Episode 137 – Interoception – The 8th Sense   This episode was inspired by the 3rd Case Call of "The Behaviour Case Collective" Membership where Dr Amber Batson and I co-presented a case where gastro-intestinal health had a big impact on Behaviour. During this conversation, the idea of Interoception was spoken about, and I thought it would be a GREAT topic to dive into!   Interoception is one of the 3 "Hidden Senses" and is essentially a sensory system that provides a dialogue between the brain and the inside of the body.   In this episode you will learn: 1.      What Interoception is and how it fits in with the other 7 senses. 2.      How altered Interoception can affect our patients. 3.      How to apply treatment and therapy strategies to improve Interoception.   I really hope you find this episode valuable and that it gives you food for thought when assessing your own Behaviour Patients!   If you would like to learn more about our amazing, monthly, case-based membership, "The Behaviour Case Collective", then click the link below: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/behaviour-case-collective   If you liked this episode of the show, Veterinary Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!   Facebook Group: Join The Veterinary Behaviour Community on Facebook   You can CONNECT with me: Website: Visit my website Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Instagram: Follow Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on Instagram Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Facebook: Join us on Trinity Veterinary Behaviour's Facebook page Trinity Veterinary Behaviour YouTube: Subscribe to Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on YouTube LinkedIn Profile: Connect with me on LinkedIn   Thank you for tuning in!

  136 Cooperative Care with Charlotte Lewis 25.05.2026 39min

  Episode 136 – Cooperative Care with Charlotte Lewis   I am always talking about bridging the gap between Veterinary Professionals and great non-Veterinary Professionals and encouraging more collaborative ways of working to best serve our patients and their families. So, when I heard that Charlotte runs a Cooperative Care Service at her local Veterinary Practice, provides CPD to the Vets at the practice as well as educational classes to the practice's clients, I just knew I had to chat to her to find out more!   In this episode, Charlotte and I chat about the benefits of Cooperative Care and Gentle Handling for the patients, the caregivers and the veterinary teams, and the kinds of cases that could benefit most from these approaches.   Charlotte also provides some really simple, easy and effective tools for helping patients feel safer in the veterinary practice – tools that anyone working in most practices can easily learn and implement!   We round up the podcast with an emotional conversation about the things Charlotte has learned from the veterinary team at the practice – resilience, a desire to show up no matter how big the emotional strain and a true love and commitment to the profession and the patients they serve – which left us both a little teary!   This is one you'll definitely not want to miss !   If you'd like to learn more about reducing Fear and Stress at the Veterinary Clinic, then my brand new Masterclass – "The 4 Pillars of reducing Fear and Stress at the Veterinary Clinic" is just the thing for you: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/four-pillars   You can find Charlotte at www.cannycaninesuk.com and on social media @cannycaninesuk   If you liked this episode of the show, Veterinary Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!   Facebook Group: Join The Veterinary Behaviour Community on Facebook   You can CONNECT with me: Website: Visit my website Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Instagram: Follow Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on Instagram Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Facebook: Join us on Trinity Veterinary Behaviour's Facebook page Trinity Veterinary Behaviour YouTube: Subscribe to Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on YouTube LinkedIn Profile: Connect with me on LinkedIn   Thank you for tuning in!

  129 Sertraline 06.04.2026 15min

  Episode 129 – Sertraline   Sertraline is a really useful SSRI that is quite commonly prescribed by Veterinary Behaviour Specialists or veterinarians with a strong interest in Behaviour Medicine but is possibly sometimes overlooked by general practitioners. So, I thought we'd do a bit of a deep dive into sertraline and the things you, as professionals, need to know about this medication.   Here's what you'll learn: ·         Indications for and uses of sertraline in Veterinary Medicine (and some super easy ways to remember them). ·         Why sertraline might be a good choice for Canine or Feline Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome. ·         When sertraline might be a better choice than fluoxetine (if legally possible – the dreaded cascade !!). ·         Potential drug interactions and contraindications.   This is a bit of a whistlestop tour into sertraline but if you'd like to dive even deeper, I've got you covered – My PSYCHOACTIVE course contains everything you need to know: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/psychoactive   And, if you'd like to learn how sertraline and other Veterinary Psychopharmaceuticals can be applied practically, then The Behaviour Case Collective, where we take a deep-dive into one real-life Behaviour Case every month, might be just the thing for you! https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/behaviour-case-collective   If you'd like to book a 30-minute Vet-Vet or Vet-Pet Care Professional Consultation with me, you can do that right here: https://calendly.com/trinityvet/teams-and-professionals If you can't find an appointment time to suit you, please email us at info@trinityvetbehaviour.com to find a time that suits us both!   And if you'd like some amazing E-Books including Client Handouts and Professional Guides, then have a look here: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/trinity-ebook     If you liked this episode of the show, Veterinary Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!   Facebook Group: Join The Veterinary Behaviour Community on Facebook   You can CONNECT with me: Website: Visit my website Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Instagram: Follow Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on Instagram Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Facebook: Join us on Trinity Veterinary Behaviour's Facebook page Trinity Veterinary Behaviour YouTube: Subscribe to Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on YouTube LinkedIn Profile: Connect with me on LinkedIn   Thank you for tuning in!

  128 Safety & Predictability, Control, Choice & Agency 31.03.2026 24min

  Episode 128 – Safety & Predictability, Control, Choice & Agency   The last 4 weeks of our lives here in Abu Dhabi have been interesting to say the least. Being under constant threat from Iranian missiles and hearing the loud "booms" of the interceptors taking care of them has been like nothing I have experienced before.   Living in this state of unrest really got me thinking about what we take for granted – the feeling of safety and predictability in our everyday lives and being able to live with a sense of control, choice and agency. I also know that this is not the case for many of my patients. Living in a constant state of fear or anxiety with little predictability of the environment and/or social relationships can be hugely debilitating and will affect quality of life, wellbeing and welfare.   There are some really easy ways to introduce more of these important welfare factors into your pets' and patients' lives and I chat you through some of my favourite ways of doing so.   All it takes is to make some small changes to implement these foundational needs!   If you liked this episode of the show, Veterinary Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!   Facebook Group: Join The Veterinary Behaviour Community on Facebook   You can CONNECT with me: Website: Visit my website Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Instagram: Follow Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on Instagram Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Facebook: Join us on Trinity Veterinary Behaviour's Facebook page Trinity Veterinary Behaviour YouTube: Subscribe to Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on YouTube LinkedIn Profile: Connect with me on LinkedIn   Thank you for tuning in!

  126 The Trinity Treatment Plan Template 17.03.2026 15min

  Episode 126 – The Trinity Treatment Plan Template   I created this Treatment Plan Template to help keep me focused and organized during consultations and to ensure that I didn't miss a thing when writing my comprehensive report for my caregivers.   Based on the "7 M" approach to creating Veterinary Behaviour Treatment Plans, this template covers all the bases, ensures you don't overwhelm caregivers with too much information while still providing a comprehensive treatment strategy.   I love resources like this one and I wish I had had it sooner, for example during my residency when I was often seeing 3 initial consultations per day and was sometimes overwhelmed with all the information to remember and digest!   You can find the Trinity Treatment Plan Template in a number of different places:   1.      As part of the "Designing a beautiful Veterinary Behaviour Treatment Plan" Masterclass right here: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/treatment-plans   2.      As part of the "Professional Guides" E-Book right here: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/trinity-ebook   3.      As part of The Behaviour Case Collective Membership right here: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/behaviour-case-collective   I really hope you find this resource as useful as I do!   If you liked this episode of the show, Veterinary Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!   Facebook Group: Join The Veterinary Behaviour Community on Facebook   You can CONNECT with me: Website: Visit my website Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Instagram: Follow Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on Instagram Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Facebook: Join us on Trinity Veterinary Behaviour's Facebook page Trinity Veterinary Behaviour YouTube: Subscribe to Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on YouTube LinkedIn Profile: Connect with me on LinkedIn   Thank you for tuning in!
