Behaviour Advice
Behavioural issues in pets can stem from a variety of causes, such as medical, environmental, or learned behaviours. More often than not, behaviour issues will involve a combination of factors. The GoVets Greenwood Behaviour Advice service offers a comprehensive, compassionate approach to identifying and treating behaviour concerns in dogs and cats.
How we address your pet's behaviour
To properly address behavioural problems, we begin with a detailed medical history and a thorough physical examination. In some cases, we may recommend blood tests, urine analysis, or other diagnostics. These tests help us to rule out underlying health issues that could be contributing to the behaviour.
Common medical-related behavioural changes may be linked to:
-
Pain or discomfort
-
Neurological issues
-
Hormonal imbalances
-
Age-related conditions
Once medical causes are ruled out or managed, we can focus on behavioural modification.
