We are delighted to announce the 8th European Veterinary Congress of Behavioural Medicine and Animal Welfare (EVCBMAW), taking place on October 1–2, 2026 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. An inspiring event bringing together science, clinical expertise, and meaningful discussions around animal behaviour and welfare. We already look forward to seeing you there!

This publication has investigated how essential oils may influence relaxation behaviours in dogs. An exciting study at the intersection of animal welfare, behaviour, and sensory enrichment.

This comprehensive review, to which we have contributed as co-authors, explores the observational behaviors and emotions used to assess the welfare of dogs.
