| Title: | Behavior Triage | |
| Topic: | What do you do when at the end of a perfectly normal annual visit with a client and their pet, the client adds, “By the way Doc, Fido snapped at my grandchild last week. What should I do?” Don’t let this seemingly offhand comment pass without a response. Doing so, can result in a lost patient and a lost client. You can help your clients without offering them a full-fledged behavior consult. Behavior problems remain one of the most important reasons pets are relinquished by their owners. So many of these problems can be prevented, and most can be managed or treated much more easily if we intervene early and appropriately. This presentation will provide simple tips for helping you navigate your clients’ complaints about their pet’s most common behavior problems while keeping everyone safe and the pet in the home | |
