What Is Veterinary Behavioural Medicine?

Veterinary behavioural medicine is a specialised field that focuses on diagnosing and treating behavioural disorders in animals by integrating medical knowledge, behavioural science, and animal welfare principles.
Behavioural medicine specialists assess not only what a pet is doing, but why—considering stress, anxiety, fear, frustration, learning history, and physical health in every case.

Behavioural Concerns We Commonly See

Separation anxiety and distress

Pets show extreme panic, destructive behaviours, or excessive vocalisation when left alone.

Noise sensitivities and phobias

Intense fear of loud sounds like urban environment thunderstorms or fireworks, leading to hiding or escape attempts.

Fear, anxiety, and reactivity

Excessive stress, avoidance, or defensive aggression towards people, animals, or environments.

Aggression and conflict between pets or people

Growling,snapping,biting, or fighting due to fear,stress,frustrations, or social competition.

Compulsive and repetitive behaviours

Excessive licking, spinning, or tail chasing, often without a clear purpose.

Inappropriate elimination

Urination or defecation indoors, outside the litter box, or in unusual locations.

Frustration and impulse control challenges

Difficulty coping with restraint, high arousal, or inability to access desired things calmly.

Behavioural changes associated with medical conditions

Sudden shifts in behaviour, such as aggression or lethargy, possibly linked to health issues.

Frequently Asked Questions About Critical Care for Pets

What makes a behavioural medicine specialist different from a trainer?

Veterinary behavioural specialists are qualified veterinarians with advanced training in behaviour, able to diagnose medical contributors and recommend comprehensive treatment plans.

Referrals are welcome but not required.

Medication is considered when it supports welfare and learning, and is always discussed carefully.
