The most common reason animals are euthanized in the United States is behavioral problems.
We understand that having a cat or dog with a behavior issue can be overwhelming and even frustrating. It can leave you feeling anxious about their safety around family or friends, or uncertain about how to help. It can also leave us feeling helpless as we know our cat or dog companions may be trying to communicate something to us that we just can’t figure out.
Our team of veterinarians and veterinary nurses has a special interest in behavior medicine. They have studied with the country’s most noted veterinary behaviorists and keep abreast of the latest techniques, medications, and recommendations.
