At Dana Briggs Consulting, we strive for excellence in all aspects of animal care and use programs. We believe that true excellence extends beyond animal welfare, encompassing governance, leadership, communication, training, and every element that contributes to a program’s success. Our mission is to define and showcase excellence as the standard for the entire field.

We are committed to overdelivering in everything we do, consistently exceeding expectations and seeking ways to add value. Whether through our independent reviews, workshops, or consulting services, we aim to deliver an outsized impact that delights our clients and sets new benchmarks for the field.

We are committed to continually evolving our services and offerings, with the goal of uplifting the industry and setting higher standards. Our focus is on inspiring our clients to achieve excellence in their own programs, while we continuously refine our approach to provide even greater value and impact.

Compassion is at the heart of our work. We not only care deeply about animal welfare, but also about the people we work with. We recognise that professionals are doing the best they can with the knowledge and resources available to them. We meet people where they are and support them as they work toward excellence—whatever that looks like for them in their current context.

We operate with the highest level of integrity, advocating for transparency, honesty, and clarity in all our interactions. We believe that clarity—being straightforward and candid—is a form of kindness, and this principle guides our consulting and education services.

Excellence in animal care and use programs requires a diverse range of skills, experiences, and perspectives. We celebrate diversity in professional backgrounds and are dedicated to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion within our team. By recognising and nurturing the unique strengths that each individual brings, we create opportunities for growth and contribution, ensuring that both our team and the programs we support are well-rounded and high performing.

At Dana Briggs Consulting, we are committed to making our firm a wonderful place to work, where each team member is supported in living and working in a way that suits them. We consciously invest in the development of our people, ensuring they have the opportunities and resources to grow, thrive, and have the meaningful impact they seek within our field.
