Pet Psychology

Animals can be complicated beings just like us. Their temperaments are often the result of prior experiences as with us and often that annoying habit that your new puppy seems to delight in strutting out when you have guests is in fact normal behaviour for dogs and just needs to be modified to make it acceptable (sounds familiar ?).

Animal behaviour is one of the most asked about topics when vets offer themselves in open forums to answer pet related questions. On 6PR I am asked more about the sorts of things that pets do that annoy us than any other topic. You don’t have to put up with things just because you love your new pet to bits….it’s okay to dislike and try to change some aspects whilst still loving them…………a bit like kids!

Most experienced vets know a lot more about animal behaviour than they realise and once you understand the way particularly dogs think (that they are a pack animal and that they just love to please the leader of the pack………..you) then it becomes a whole lot easier to deal with.

We at Petpro understand this……….we all own and love pets and so you are amongst friends in this. If we can’t help you then odds on we will know who can and there are lots of very safe medications that will set the pattern for a better relationship with your best friend if that’s what’s needed.

Training the new puppy or kitten, dealing with antisocial behaviour, right through to the pampered pooch with separation anxiety are all part of what we do. Looking after you and your relationship with your pet is more than just annual health checks and de-sexing. We are keen to help you feel good about your pet and derive enjoyment from the relationship. Try us.
