Veterinary Behaviourists

Veterinary behaviourists are veterinarians specially trained to diagnose, treat, and manage behavioral issues in animals, particularly pets like dogs and cats. They have advanced education in animal behavior, psychology, and medicine, allowing them to address problems such as aggression, anxiety, phobias, or compulsive behaviors. Their goal is to improve animals’ quality of life and strengthen the human-animal bond through tailored behavior modification plans, training, and sometimes medication. They work closely with pet owners to understand each animal’s unique needs and develop personalized strategies for positive behavior change.
