Human-Animal Bond
Clinical Behavioral Medicine for Small Animals
Appropriate behavior is an important part of a good human-animal bond. Our Doctors will take part of the routine exam time to answer your behavior questions and to counsel you in steps you can take to help your pet do well in the family. Many health issues have a behavioral component, especially bladder and urinary issues in cats. There are many things that one can do to help make them comfortable in the house.
If there are behavioral issues that are too involved for us, other resources are available that we can get you in touch with for help.
