This is a very informative, interesting and well prepared on-line course with lots of documentation that one can read later on in order to get more knowledgeable about dogs and cats. Thanks!

Excellent course aiming in animal welfare and development. I express my heartful gratitude to all teachers who were a part of my journey through this course. Thank you very much once again.

It gives you the basics about owning a pet and what you need to know for their welfare.

I don't see a need for certification for this course.

Recommended for general knowledge and resources

I think the course is very informative and definitely delivers the main message to pet owners: consider the welfare of pets and see things via their perspectives. Thank you for the course!

After going through the course, I am able to better recognise the behaviour of my pet and able to understand what they feel. This is definitely going to help better communicate with them.

A quick stab at some base concerns of animal welfare issues nowadays focus on cats and dogs, good start point to view with objective and scientific measures for anyone that is interested.

I'm immensely grateful to the tutors at the University of Edinburgh for offering the enlightening course "The Truths About Dogs and Cats" – a perfectly enriching experience! Thank you!

The course is very informative, and for pet owners, or people planning to have a pet in the future, this course would be very useful. The videos are short and suitable for beginners :)

This course was informative on many street and pet dogs and cats. I do want to know more about the shelter element of how these animals can be better suited in a shelter environment.

really interesting and full of useful information and tips. What I'd love to see is a course dedicated to rescue dogs - especially ones that have been mistreated or not socialized

Thank you for this course. I helped me to extend my knowledge on cats and dogs in a very nice and friendly way. I will recommend it to any English-speaking cat or dog owner I know.

Thank you Coursera and University of Edinburgh for this course! I really appreciated all the efforts everyone made to make this course enjoyable. I've learned a lot as a pet owner.

Thank you! I do enjoyed this course. I got a lot of new information about cats stress, dogs and cats welfare. I will use this knowledge with my pets and in my dogtraining practice.

I think this course should be a requirement for anyone thinking of adopting a pet. I've been around animals all my life and I still learnt a number of new things from this course!

Excellent content. Full of scientifically-based advice for those who really care about their pets. This course should be compulsory for all prospective and current pet owners.

Me encanto, saber mas sobre nuestras mascotas nos abre una puerta a ver un mejor bienestar para ellos, además de contar con un conocimiento útil para aplicarlo en mi profesión.

This course is really very helpful and interesting because learn us a lot about cats and dogs and how to take care of our pets, the best ways for their wellbeing and happiness!

Es un curso muy básico, sin embargo aprendes mucho y te ayuda a entender más a los animales y saber como tratarlos y corregirlos de una manera correcta preservando su bienestar

I enjoyed every reading every video. I love pets and i want to know everything about them and teachers help me to know about them. I am thankful to whole team of this MOOC.

Great, informative, although there is a little bit of repetition if you’ve completed the other MOOCs by University of Edinburgh, particularly the course on Animal Welfare.

This was quite an eye-opening experience! I will definitely recommend this course to others. The course instructors were really great as well in conveying their message.

I am happy that studied this course. I got lots of important information about cats and dogs. As a owner of cat, I found this course is very useful. Thank you so much!
