Consulting Behaviour
Animal behavior is an integral part of every wellness exam. Your pet’s behavior can reveal important insights into their physical health, making it crucial to monitor it consistently. At the OVC Smith Lane Animal Hospital, we prioritize open discussions about your pet’s behavior to identify any unusual or concerning signs. This helps us determine if additional consultation or testing may be needed.
Consulting behavioural concerns can be effective in many situations such as:
- Separation anxiety
- New pets in the household
- Aggression/Fear issues
- Household accidents
- Destructive behaviour
- Depression issues
* Please note: OVC Smith Lane Animal Hospital does not have a behaviour spacialist on staff. The discussions surrounding your pets behaviour is included in appointments as a part of wellness visits. If your pet is experiencing more severe behavioural concerns, please discuss an external referral to a behaviourist with one of our veterinarians.
Our main goal at OVC Smith Lane Animal Hospital is the health and happiness of your pet. Our team is dedicated to helping address and treat these concerns. If you have any further questions about behavioural concerns with your pet, please call our client service team at 519-840-0100 or email us at OVCslah@uoguelph.ca.
