Why Use A Cat Behaviorist?
First and foremost, we encourage all pet guardians to seek veterinarian counsel to rule out an underlying medical issue. Having said that, when a medical issue is ruled out, and the negative behavior continues, that is when it is time to hire a cat behavior specialist. There are also circumstances where your veterinarian may not be able to diagnose and treat a behavioral problem. In these cases, we are happy to work alongside your vet in addressing behavioral issues and creating a treatment plan.
We believe that in some cases medication is necessary. However, in certain situations we find that medication is not always the solution.
