Pet Counseling in Fort Lauderdale

One of the key components in establishing a long-term veterinarian relationship is knowing that he or she will be able to guide you in all aspects of pet ownership. One of the most important areas in need of guidance from the very beginning of a pet's life, is behavior.

We Provide Pet Behavioral Counseling in Fort Lauderdale

DPC Veterinary Hospital offers counseling for your pet's problem behaviors. Pet behavioral problems are the number one reason animals are relinquished from their home. Many of these problems are not a simple training issue and are beyond the scope of the local obedience class. Our veterinarians understand how an owner can feel powerless when their attempts to intervene fail to resolve these problems. If your pet is exhibiting signs such as aggression, fear, anxiety, or inappropriate urination or defecation habits, you should contact a local Florida veterinarian.

It is important to understand that medical problems can contribute to behavioral problems in an animal. A variety of diseases and ailments can cause or contribute to behavioral changes.

If you are looking for a quality veterinarian to discuss such behavioral issues, DPC Veterinary Hospital is waiting to hear from you. Call for an appointment today at (954) 516-1654!
