Traditionally, if a pet was aggressive or destructive, the solution was punitive training or rehoming. Modern veterinary science rejects this. The field of Behavioral Medicine is now a recognized veterinary specialty.
An aggressive dog may be a public safety risk, but he may also be suffering from a hypothyroid condition (easily treated with daily pills). A parrot that plucks its feathers may be lonely, but it may also have a zinc toxicity. By treating the behavior, we treat the biology. And by treating the animal's mental state, we reduce the risk of zoonotic injury or surrender to already-overcrowded shelters. zooskool simone mo puppy exclusive
