Behavior Consults
Behavioral issues can be distressing and frustrating to owners and pets alike. Thankfully, we are able to help! Dr. Stolt, one of our veterinarians who takes a particular interest in treating behavioral issues, offers behavioral consults which consist of a detailed examination of the pet as well as a thorough discussion of the issues with owners. We will perform any testing needed to rule out underlying medical causes for these problems and then formulate a detailed plan for modifying the behavior. Sometimes, medication may be employed to help with resolution.
Our doctors will work with owners as a team to assist in the implementation of the plan. Among the behavioral challenges we can treat are:
- Inappropriate urination/defecation
- Scratching furniture
- Thunderstorm phobia
- Noise phobia
- Separation anxiety
- Cognitive issues/confusion
- Aggression
Behavioral health is a huge component of the overall well-being of our pets and our relationships with them. Let us help you ensure the best-possible behavior of your beloved pet.
