A Turnkey Solution: Addressing the urgent need for affordable access to pet behavioral health care education with easy, gentle, science-based, home-training tips by credentialed experts.
Medical Symptoms
🔬 Research is linking chronic pet anxiety and stress to both behavioral issues and genetically predisposed medical symptoms such as atopic dermatitis, gastritis, colitis, and cystitis.
🐾When medical treatment doesn’t alleviate recurring symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea, pet parents may try a different veterinarian or location.
🐾Pet parent education on how to identify and relieve pet anxiety added to medical care and behavior prescriptions improves treatment outcomes, pet welfare, and the relationships between people and pets.
🐾By providing science-backed, easy-to-implement behavioral health solutions, veterinary and pet care businesses can improve pet well-being, strengthen pet parent loyalty to the business provider, and elevate pet care standards.
“Pets can exhibit behavioral problems that impair the human-animal bond, but behavior changes are also how veterinarians can tell whether dogs or cats have an illness or pain or are experiencing emotional distress.” ~Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, May 2021
Emotional Well-being
🐾Polyvagal Theory expert Seth Porges states: “How safe we feel is crucial to our physical and mental health and happiness, and how we experience the world.” Pets need to feel safe which means no scolding or physical punishment. Pet parent education is the key!
🐾 Marc Bekoff, biologist, ethologist, behavioral ecologist and author of The Emotional Lives of Animals, says this “Emotional health is just as vital to animal wellbeing as it is to human wellbeing.”
🐾“The Pet Happiness Profile is an excellent behavioral screening tool for any veterinary practitioner to identify chronic stress in any canine or feline patient.“ — Valarie Tynes, DVM, Diplomate American College of Veterinary Behavior (and) Diplomate of American College of Animal Welfare.
