Addressing Common Dog and Cat Behavior Issues

Behavioral concerns are one of the most common reasons pets are surrendered, but many can be improved with the right guidance. Our veterinary team helps with problems such as barking, chewing, scratching, digging, and spraying. For young pets, we also provide Puppy and Kitten Care support to establish healthy habits early on.

Aggression and Anxiety in Pets

Aggression in pets or ongoing anxiety can place stress on the entire household. We evaluate potential medical causes, discuss triggers, and create personalized strategies to improve both behavior and quality of life.

House Soiling and Litter Box Problems

When pets struggle with house training or litter box use, the cause can be medical, behavioral, or a combination of both. Our team may recommend Veterinary Diagnostics such as lab testing or imaging to rule out underlying illness before focusing on training and environmental solutions.

Puppy and Kitten Behavior Guidance

Early behavior support is key to preventing lifelong challenges. We provide puppy behavior guidance and kitten socialization tips, covering issues like play-biting, crate training, and litter box habits. These visits often complement routine Pet Wellness Exams for growing pets.
