veterinary behavior

Veterinary behavior is the study of how animals behave, particularly in relation to their health and well-being. It encompasses understanding normal behavior, recognizing signs of stress or anxiety, and addressing behavioral issues through appropriate training and environmental changes. Veterinarians specializing in behavior assess factors such as genetics, early experiences, and environment to develop treatment plans. This field aims to enhance the quality of life for pets and their owners by promoting positive interactions and preventing behavioral problems, thereby ensuring both physical and mental health in animals.
