Clinical Veterinary Ethology

Clinical Veterinary Ethology is the study of animal behavior within a veterinary context. It focuses on understanding the natural behaviors of pets and farm animals, particularly how these behaviors relate to their health and well-being. Veterinarians who specialize in this field assess and treat behavioral issues that might affect an animal's quality of life, such as anxiety, aggression, or fear. By applying knowledge of animal behavior, they can recommend solutions that improve both the physical and emotional health of animals, enhancing their overall care and fostering better human-animal relationships.
