Dogs and cats can suffer from a multitude of ailments ranging from severe phobias to aggressions. The first step in controlling these issues is understanding the “what and why” of each situation. Proper diagnosis dispels myths in behavior. It is common for a pet owner to assume that their pet is just being spiteful when in fact they may have a behavioral problem. We strive to help our clients learn the real reasons for their pets behavior and then find realistic options for a treatment plan.
Common behaviors include:
Dogs: aggressions, fears, phobias, housetraining difficulties,
compulsiveness
Cats: house soiling, marking, aggression, fears, phobias
Consultations range between 1 ½ - 2 hours and include a review of your pets history, evaluation, diagnosis, and development of a treatment plan.
Types of treatment plans include:
- Behavior modification
- Medication
- Environmental changes
- Medical recommendations
Behavior cases should be seen by your referring veterinarian first in order to rule out any medical issues.
