  • Background information describes how dog and cat behavior problems arise and how they can be prevented.
  • Coverage of behavior modification techniques provides you with a clear understanding of suggested treatment as well as the use of drugs, products, pheromones, surgery, diet, and alternative therapies.

  • Case studies illustrate real-life clinical situations.
  • Easy-access treatment tables provide at-a-glance solutions to common behavior problems.
  • Useful appendices include treatment protocols as well as the drug information and dosages that make effective prescribing easy.

  • NEW! Updated chapter content is extensively augmented or completely rewritten by new authors, making this more than just a new edition - it's a new book!
  • NEW! eBook version is included with print purchase which allows access to all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
