We’re excited to share the highlights from our Waltham-led symposium at the ISAZ Conference last month! Having recently returned from Canada, Waltham Petcare Science Institute Senior Research Scientist in Human-Animal Interaction (HAI), Dr Becky Smith, reflects on the Waltham HAI-led symposium that took place at the International Society for Anthrozoology (ISAZ) Conference earlier this month.

Cats and dogs have lived alongside humans for thousands of years, however the specific study of interactions between humans and animals has only been studied since the 1960s.

That little dachshund immediately became one of the family and the bond we shared was unbreakable.
