Behavior

When a pet has a behavior problem, the consequences are far-reaching. Behavior problems threaten the bond you have with your pet by damaging the loving relationship that should exist between you. In extreme situations, a serious behavior problem can lead to euthanasia or surrendering a pet to a shelter.

Types of Bad Pet Behavior

Pets can have a wide variety of behavioral issues, from simple housetraining problems to severe anxiety and aggression issues. We are well qualified and experienced in diagnosing and addressing behavior problems with an approach that combines skills from veterinary clinical medicine, behavioral medicine, and pet training. Our goals are to help pets and their owners live together comfortably and safely, and to help restore the bond between pets and their families.

What Causes Bad Pet Behavior

Dealing with behavior problems can be frustrating for pet owners. Some pet owners may even blame themselves because their pet seems to have an emotional issue. Although pet behavior problems can result from emotional trauma or physical abuse, many behavior problems arise from simple misunderstandings that were inadvertently created during training. In addition, some medical conditions can mimic behavior problems. Scheduling an evaluation with a member of our team is the first step on the road to resolving the problem.
