The Animal Behavior Service focuses on the behavior of companion animals,
the prevention of behavior problems through client education, and the
assessment and treatment of existing behavior problems. Our service provides
house calls and in-clinic consultations providing diagnosis, prognosis, and
treatment for all pet behavioral problems (canine, feline, equine, avian, and
other companion animals).
Clients are asked to complete a pre-appointment questionnaire, bring a video
of the pet’s undesired behavior, and a log of incidents with a dexcription of the
context in which the problem occures (frequency, duration, location, events, or
persons involved). Family members and other household pets may be asked to
attend appointments.
Contact Information
Intensive care treatment is available for patients requiring hospitalization (e.g.,
patients with congestive heart failure, pericardial effusion, syncope due to an
arrhythmia, or arrhythmia evaulation).
[email protected]
We encourage referring veterinarians to provide a summary of existing medical
problems, their current treatment, and treatment prescribed for the behavior
problem. The initial appointment lasts about two to three hours. A detailed
written summary of recommendations is mailed to the client and referring
DVM after the appointment.
Services commonly provided through cardiology include:
▪▪ OFA heart certifications/prebreeding evaluation
▪▪ Electrocardiography
▪▪ 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiography
▪▪ Radio-telemetric ECG monitoring
▪▪ Echocardiography
▪▪ Transvenous pacemaker implantations
▪▪ Minimally-invasive catheterization procedures

The Complementary and Alternative Medicine Service uses both western
and traditional oriental medicine for diagnosis and treatment, providing a
unique, comprehensive approach to veterinary health care. The patient may
also be referred to one of the other specialty services offered by the VMC
(such as internal medicine or neurology) before or after being evaluated by the
integrative medicine staff.
Traditional veterinary oriental medicine can be used to treat most conditions
as well as relieving pain, strengthening the immune system, and improving
specific or overall organ function.
Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Friday (8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.)
and other times by special
arrangement.
Consultative services are available
on request for hospitalized
patients.
Cases seen at the dental service include but are not limited to periodontics,
endodontics, oral surgery (including extractions, palate surgery, oral tumors,
trauma, and fractures), restorations (including crowns), orthodontics, and oral
medicine. We also provide an equine dental clinic where advanced equine oral
and dental cases are seen working closely with the equine medicine and surgery
team.
While the dental operatory is fully capable of managing and treating all oral
diseases, the dental service works closely and consults with other services at the
Veterinary Medical Center to ensure the pet receives the best care possible.
