Pet Counseling

Behavior Counseling

Our hospital offers counseling for your cat's problem behaviors. Behavioral problems in the pet are the number one reason animals are relinquished from their home. Many of these problems are not a simple training issue. Behavior problems can be very troubling and owners can feel powerless when their attempts to intervene fail to resolve these problems. If your pet is exhibiting signs such as aggression, fear, anxiety, phobias, housesoiling or other strange behaviors, you should consult a veterinarian.

It is important to understand that medical problems can contribute to behavioral problems in an animal. A variety of diseases and pain can cause or contribute to a variety of behavioral changes such as housesoiling, irritability and aggression, anxiety and compulsive behaviors. After meeting with you and your cat a veterinarian will formulate both a medical and behavioral treatment plan aimed specifically at your pet's individual problem(s).
