Pets can develop a range of behavior problems that can be concerning, upsetting, scary and inconvenient for you and can affect your bond with your beloved pet. Often these behaviors are a sign that your pet does not perceive the world as a safe place or does not understand how to appropriately communicate with their environment or the people and animals in that environment. Behavior problems can indicate that your pet has a medical problem or that their welfare may be poor. It is important to address all of the aspects of behavior problems, including any medical components, therefore, the behavioral medicine service offers comprehensive appointments to allow you to get your pet evaluated medically and behaviorally to best understand their problem behaviors. We welcome the opportunity to meet you and your pet, help you better understand your pet’s behavior and improve your life together.Please note that behavioral advice cannot be given via email before your appointment; a doctor-patient relationship must be established first.We are proud to offer the following Veterinary Behavioral Medicine Services:• Behavioral medicine assessment and treatment plan development for dogs and cats• Treatment appointments to help implement a veterinary prescribed behavior modification program• Head start appointments to provide you and your recently acquired pet with tools for success in your home• Pre-surgical appointments to help set your pet up for success with confinement and activity restriction while recovering from surgery• Behavior modification plans to improve your pet&#x27;s response to being handled by unfamiliar people in potentially stressful situations, such as at the veterinarian or the groomer.• Behavior modification plans to teach patients to participate with their veterinary visits, rather than just attend the visit• Behavior modification plans to assist clients with animals who are fearful, anxious or aggressive over handling by their owner, such as during nail trims, in response to administering medications, bathing, grooming, putting on a leash or collar/harness or any other body handling• Gentle Leader, harness and basket muzzle fittings and instruction on proper use• Patient stress identification and low stress handling training for veterinary practice staff• Work with veterinarians to provide a team-based behavior modification program for pets
