What is Pet Behavioral Medicine?

Pet behavioral medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating behavioral issues in animals. This field combines knowledge from veterinary medicine and behavioral science to offer comprehensive care. Whether your pet is experiencing anxiety, aggression, or other behavioral challenges, our specialists are trained to identify the underlying causes and develop effective treatment plans.

Common Behavioral Issues

Pets can exhibit various behavioral problems, each requiring a tailored approach. Some common issues we address include:

  • Separation Anxiety: Pets who become anxious when left alone may be suffering from deeper issues.
  • Aggression: Unprompted aggression toward other animals or humans can be trained out with effective care.
  • House Soiling: Training can address inappropriate urination or defecation inside the home.
  • Excessive Barking or Meowing: Persistent vocalization can be minimized through proper behavioral treatment.
