Did you know that a recent survey study showed that 99% of U.S. dogs struggle with a behavior issue as an adult? Or that setting the foundation of lifelong good behavior in puppies and kittens occurs before three months of age?
Whether your pet is currently struggling with a behavioral concern at home or you are wanting to set your new family member up for success early, we are here to help. Evergreen Veterinary Hospital is excited to now offer behavior consultations with our new veterinarian, Dr. Ellen Puthoff! Dr. Puthoff has a special interest in behavior and is a certified Elite Fear Free veterinary practitioner.
Examples of behavioral issues that can be addressed include separation anxiety, noise phobias, generalized/situational anxiety, aggression, and inappropriate urinations. We can also discuss acclimation to and options for nail trimming, puppy/kitten socialization, preparing pets for the arrival of a new baby, and addressing hospital-related fear, including ‘happy visits’ to help create a more positive association with the hospital.
