As pet lovers, we enjoy sharing our lives with our furry companions. However, our pets' behavioral problems can often put a damper on the relationship. Many behavior problems can be easily remedied by simply making a few changes in the pet's routine. Unfortunately, many problems are due to an underlying medical condition and must be evaluated and treated by a Veterinarian.
There are many categories of behavior issues including; inappropriate elimination, ingestion problems, reproduction, neuroses including separation anxiety and many others. Some pets experience one or more symptoms from one or more categories thus complicating the situation. Making a correct diagnosis and treatment plan is critical to achieving a healthy and rewarding relationship with your pet.
