What is a Veterinary Behaviorist?
Just like human medicine, veterinary medicine has specialists. A Veterinary Behaviorist is the equivalent of a psychiatrist but for animals. The field of Veterinary Behavior involves managing and treating behavior problems to improve the quality of life of pets, working animals, farm animals and animals in zoos or aquariums. Veterinary behaviorists are also able to diagnose medical conditions that may impact an animal’s behavior.
