There are many pets who have trouble coping with certain situations or the world around them. These pets may be extremely anxious, act in an aggressive manner or develop compulsive behaviors. It is essential to evaluate the emotional contributions to behaviors in order to make a treatment plan that allows the pet to cope with life’s stressors.
Have you ever wondered what a veterinary behaviorist does or why a pet would need to consult with one? Veterinary Behaviorists are licensed veterinarians that have achieved board-certification in the specialty of Veterinary Behavior. Pets of all types and ages may need help and we want you to know when to get them additional behavior assistance. This presentation will be beneficial for veterinarians, trainers, behavior consultants and many other pet professionals who work with a variety of animals. Pet guardians may also find this information useful while pursuing help for pets displaying behavioral and emotional issues.
