AVSPNI SA Evening Meeting - Dr Hannah Donovan "Inappropriate Soiling"

BIOGRAPHY Hannah graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 2011. During her time at the University of Edinburgh\, Hannah also obtained a Masters of Veterinary Science in Canine Behaviour Research (MVetSci). She then worked as a mixed vet in Lincolnshire and during this time, completed a Master of Science in Clinical Animal Behaviour (MSc) at the University of Lincoln, UK, in 2013. Since then, Hannah has worked in small animal practices in Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, she has also travelled and volunteered around the world in clinics and shelters, and spent some time working in a large RSPCA hospital and shelter in Sydney, Australia. Hannah is passionate about providing continued education for vets and vet staff around the world, focusing on animal behaviour and improving handling and understanding during veterinary visits, rehabilitation of rescued animals or teaching young animals and preventing behaviour issues. Hannah’s goal has always been to improve animals’ quality of life and welfare by continually learning herself and teaching veterinary and shelter staff. In 2019, Hannah founded Donovan Veterinary Behaviour Practice, an online behaviour service offering compassionate, evidence-based support for animals and their owners across the UK. The practice is referral-only, working mainly with dogs, horses, and cats, and every case benefits from the input of a veterinary behaviourist. Within the practice, Hannah works as a veterinary behaviourist alongside a wonderful team of clinical animal behaviourists, veterinary behaviourists, and canine trainers. Together, they guide animals and their caregivers through behaviour challenges, helping them build happier, more harmonious lives together. Hannah is an RCVS (Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons) Advanced Practitioner in Companion Animal Behaviour.
