Overview

About Behavioral Medicine

Behavioral problems are a leading cause of pet surrender and euthanasia. Many behaviors that seem like "training issues" have underlying medical or neurological components that require veterinary intervention.

Our behavioral medicine services include comprehensive behavioral assessments, medication management (when appropriate), environmental modification plans, and coordination with certified trainers and behaviorists.
