The Australian Veterinary Behaviour Interest Group (AVBIG), a special interest group of the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA), was established to improve human and animal welfare by increasing the understanding of animal behaviour and its significance in veterinary science.
The Companion Animal Behaviour Therapy Study Group (CABTSG), an affiliate of the British Small Animal Veterinary Association, exists to facilitate the exchange of information, experiences and ideas between its members.
As an affiliate of the BSAVA, the CABTSG is also involved in producing educational materials and lectures for the veterinary and related professions.
The CABTSG disseminates information, advises other organisations on issues relating to animal behaviour, and tries, wherever possible, to promote greater understanding of behaviour problems in companion animals.
