Behavior Buzzzzzz with 2 Amys
We're your sassy hosts, Dr. Amy L. Pike and Dr. Amy Learn, A.K.A...THE AMYS! As Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorists, we understand the challenges of pet guardianship. Every day we diagnose and treat behavior problems. And, every day we help pets and their people navigate the sea of confusing, misleading, and downright false information swirling around on the internet and social media.
We provide clinical insight into underlying causes of behavior problems, make cynical sense of nonsense, disprove myths, and promote positive, trusting human/animal relationships.
We're dedicated to modern, science-based intervention without the use of pain, fear, force, or intimidation. It is our mission to drive comprehensive pet wellness to the forefront of veterinary medicine and mainstream pet culture. JOIN US and the HIVE MIND, to set the record straight on the hottest and most controversial topics we encounter as clinicians, educators, and guardians.
Behavior Buzzzzzz with 2 Amys
Keep Calm and Buzzzzzz On!
"How will they remember me?" Join the Amys and their enchanting guest Dr. Sarah Kuhlo, Veterinary Services Manager at Ceva Animal Health, as they discuss pheromones and their role in creating the ultimate Calm Clinic experience for pets and their people.
Chemical communication is the oldest, most common, and most important form of intra-species communication used by most animals. Semiochemicals, such as pheromones, send powerful chemical "signals" that affect behavior. ThunderWorks® and FELIWAY® products are species-specific synthetic formulations of calming pheromones. Their use in veterinary settings and beyond, is proven to assist with environmental familiarization and emotional stabilization, leading to decreased fear, anxiety, and stress in dogs and cats.
Can humans detect the presence of dog/cat-specific pheromones? How can calming pheromones help you gain more trust from pets and their guardians? How does the Calm Clinic approach promote increased overall physical and emotional health? Are synthetic calming pheromones available for humans 👀?
Grab a cocktail and get up to speed on the latest buzzzzzz during episode 13 of the Behavior Buzzzzzz with 2 Amys veterinary behavior podcast.
