Pet Behavior

Correcting Behavioral Problems in Pets

Your pet’s behavior affects every interaction you have with him or her on a daily basis. Behavior dictates everything from meal time to exercise time to downtime, such as relaxing on the couch with other family members.

When a pet has a behavior problem, the consequences are far-reaching. Behavior problems threaten the bond you have with your pet by damaging the loving relationship that should exist between the two of you. In extreme situations, a serious behavior problem can lead to euthanasia or surrendering a pet to a shelter.

At Saugus Animal Hospital, we can provide advice regarding how to correct behavioral problems that threaten your pet’s well-being and your relationship with your pet. **Please note, while we can address many behavioral issues in dogs and cats, we do not have a Veterinary Behaviorist on staff. Based on the issues your pet is experiencing, you may be referred to a trainer, or a local/virtual Veterinary Behaviorist.**

We can address problems such as:

  • Excessive barking
  • Chewing
  • Spraying
  • Scratching
  • Digging
  • House soiling
  • Aggression

We take the time to get to the root of the problem and to thoroughly assess why your pet may be acting out. From there, we’ll determine the right ways to correct the problem. With our help and advice, you can maintain ongoing efforts to address and improve behavioral issues. This will take time and work but is worth it in the long run.
