Why are we so concerned about behavior? Behavioral problems top the list of reasons pets are surrendered to animal shelters or change homes. Severe behavior problems can lead to harm or euthanasia. As a human-animal bond centered practice, we are committed to doing our part in maintain a healthy relationship between you and your pet.
In all behavior cases, we combine careful history taking, a physical exam, and health screening to reach a diagnosis. Many behaviors originate from health issues such as pain, neurological disease, or metabolic illnesses. When treated properly, behavior often returns to normal. We are fortunate to have access to many excellent trainers, animal behaviorists and board certified veterinary behavior specialists to care for even the most challenging cases.
