Pet Remedy is hosting the first Emotional Wellbeing in Animals Conference in Torquay on 30-31 March 2026.
The conference format has been designed to be immersive, engaging, and deeply connected, with more time for meaningful learning and social interaction.
Discussions about the difference between welfare and wellbeing are a hot topic in animal behaviour science at the moment, and this will be the theme that weaves through this conference.
A world-class speaker line-up includes Dr. Robert Falconer-Taylor, Dr. Amber Batson, Chloe Scoones, Daniel Shaw, Victoria Stilwell, and Andrew Hale.
Andrew Hale, a Certified Animal Behaviourist and Behaviour Consultant for Pet Remedy, said: “We are finally acknowledging that animals feel the world in incredibly rich and meaningful ways.
“Their emotional experiences influence everything, from behaviour to physical health to relationships with people. For years animal care research was focused almost exclusively on physical welfare, but now we are recognising that emotional wellbeing is just as essential.
“This conference is about helping people understand that difference and giving them practical tools to support their animals in a compassionate way.”
