Emma Grigg

Emma Grigg is an Assistant Professor of Practice at the University of Arizona, specializing in animal behavior and welfare. Her research focuses on companion animals (cats and dogs), marine mammals, and veterinary practices. Notable areas include feline and canine behavioral health, human-animal interactions, and stress management strategies for domestic animals.

Her work bridges veterinary science with behavioral studies, addressing topics like repetitive behaviors in cats, noise sensitivity in dogs, and ethical educational methods using cadavers. She also explores professional challenges faced by veterinarians, such as impostor syndrome, and advocates for inclusive veterinary services for clients with disabilities.

Grigg’s research on marine mammals includes studies on harbor seals and bottlenose dolphins, focusing on habitat use, population trends, and conservation. Her interdisciplinary approach integrates behavioral analysis, physiology, and environmental science.

Her publications emphasize practical applications, such as improving pet-owner relationships, optimizing veterinary care, and advancing animal welfare standards. No awards or grants are explicitly mentioned, but her research demonstrates a commitment to bridging academic inquiry with real-world animal care.
