About this book
Understand and apply key concepts of animal behavior in veterinary practice
Animal behavior is a critical aspect of veterinary medicine, often underappreciated despite its pervasiveness throughout the field. Understanding animal behavior can facilitate communication with patients, refine diagnoses and indications of ill health, and aid in processes of learning and socialization. Introduction to Animal Behavior and Veterinary Behavioral Medicine offers a comprehensive overview of the key concepts underlying the behavior of multiple animal species before demonstrating how to apply these concepts clinically. The result is an indispensable resource for veterinary students and practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of patient needs.

- In depth review of diagnosis and treatment strategies for common behavior disorders in companion animals, extending to various additional species

Introduction to Animal Behavior and Veterinary Behavioral Medicine is ideal preparation for veterinary medical students as part of "day one readiness" in their professional careers, as well as veterinary practitioners looking for a solid foundation in animal behavior and the treatment of key issues.
