Course will give owners greater insight into their pets' needs

A free online course to help animal lovers brush up on pet subjects has been launched by the University of Edinburgh.

Designed by world-leading experts in animal welfare, The Truth about Cats and Dogs aims to teach participants about pet needs and behaviours.

“There is so much information available online about how best to look after your pet, which can be overwhelming,” commented Dr Heathor Bacon, who is among the experts organising the course.

“Our scientific understanding of cats and dogs has moved on leaps and bounds, but recent research has highlighted gaps in what pet owners know about their animals.”

The course aims to help pet owners develop a greater understanding of their animals by exploring how they perceive the world.

“Pet owners will gain a greater insight into their pets’ needs and how to provide for them,” Heather adds.

The Massive Open-access Online Course (MOOC) was developed by the University of Edinburgh’s Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies.

Beginning on the 12 June, the course content is centred on the latest scientific findings.
