More than two-thirds of Australian households across metropolitan, regional, and remote Australia are now home to one or more pets.  In total, there are about 28 million pets to about 7 million households across Australia.

As you would expect dogs and cats are the most common pets in our homes. In general, we care a lot about the wellbeing of our furry friends, and we tend to develop strong emotional connection with them.

But like it is for any other relationship, we don’t always fully understand our pet’s behaviour.  Although, we may think we do!

Associate Professor Susan Hazel joins us to explain some of the quite common pet behaviours.
