Understanding and Managing Behavioral Problems

Behavioral problems in pets can range from mild annoyances to serious medical issues, and they can have a negative impact on the relationship between pets and their owners. Left untreated, these problems can result in self-induced trauma, property destruction, and ingestion of harmful items. This can be distressing for both pets and their families and can damage the human-animal bond. At Lyon Veterinary Clinic, we understand the importance of this bond and are committed to partnering with our clients to help restore it. We offer a variety of treatment options to manage behavioral problems when they are addressed early, including behavior modification, supplements, and prescription drugs.

Prevention is Key

Preventing behavioral problems from developing in the first place is crucial. That's why we encourage pet owners to ask questions about possible behavior annoyances before they become serious problems. Proper training and socialization of young dogs and cats can also help reduce the development of these problems as they age.

Early Detection and Correction

Early detection and correction of behavioral problems are critical to a positive outcome, just as in managing medical problems. If you're struggling with a behavioral problem in your pet, such as inappropriate urination, separation anxiety, noise phobias, irrational fear, or aggression, contact our office today to make an appointment to discuss how the problem can be managed. While not all behavioral problems can be completely corrected, proper management can often help them reach a tolerable level.

Treatment Options

Several treatment options are available for managing behavioral problems in pets, depending on the type and severity of the issue. Behavior modification, supplements, acupuncture, and prescription medications are just a few of the options available. Your veterinarian can work with you to develop a treatment plan that's tailored to your pet's specific needs.
