Pet Behavior Counseling 

Understanding the “why” behind your pet’s behavior.

Behavior issues can be frustrating for both pets and their families. Whether it’s anxiety, aggression, or destructive habits, the first step toward resolution is understanding what’s driving the behavior—and ruling out any underlying medical causes.

At Murphy Road Animal Hospital, our veterinarians combine medical expertise with behavioral insight to identify the root of your pet’s challenges and create realistic, compassionate solutions. Each consultation includes a detailed history, physical evaluation, and a customized treatment plan that may include behavior modification techniques, environmental adjustments, or medication when appropriate.
