The COVID-19 pandemic has affected us all in many ways, and one of the effects we have seen is the impact on the human-animal bond. In this Vet Times Extra podcast, Jon Bowen, behaviour consultant at the RVC, discusses the behavioural problems seen during the pandemic and the impact these have had on owners, as well as vets and vet nurses. Dr Bowen also talks about the importance of canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC) vaccination when our canine patients are returning to socialising again, and how we can make these veterinary visits less stressful for the dogs, their owners and the veterinary team. ______________________ 𝗝𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝗕𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗡 𝗕𝗩𝗲𝘁𝗠𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗥𝗖𝗩𝗦 Jon Bowen graduated from the RVC in 1992 and spent several years in general practice.
