Pet Behavior

The human-animal bond has become better acknowledged and for many of us, pets have become a very important and cherished part of the family. Unacceptable pet behavior can jeopardize this bond. If left untreated, behavior problems can escalate to the point where many owners relinquish their pets to shelters, other homes, or even euthanasia.

 

At the Weare Animal Hospital we provide behavioral services to properly diagnose and help correct unacceptable behaviors in cats and dogs, thus helping to preserve the human-animal bond. The initial behavior consultation is an opportunity for the pet owner to thoroughly discuss the pets behavior. We encourage all family members to attend.

 

Weare Animal Hospital's Dr. Jane Barlow will work with your pet and family to diagnose your pet’s behavior issues. A treatment plan can then be tailored to the specific needs of your pet and family.

 

Dr. Barlow is a pet behavior consultant with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the Atlantic Veterinary College at the University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. She also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in biological chemistry from Bates College in Maine. Dr. Barlow is a member of the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behaviorists.
