Written for veterinary professionals who encounter behavioural problems in clinical practice, this resource bridges the gap between theoretical behavioural science and practical clinical application. The text explores the neurobiological, environmental, and genetic factors that contribute to abnormal behaviours in dogs and cats, offering evidence-based approaches to assessment and treatment. The book systematically covers the full spectrum of behavioural disorders, from common issues such as separation anxiety, aggression, and inappropriate elimination to more complex conditions including compulsive disorders, cognitive dysfunction, and fear-related behaviours. Each disorder is examined through detailed case presentations, diagnostic criteria, differential diagnoses, and comprehensive treatment protocols that integrate behavioural modification techniques with pharmacological interventions when appropriate. Recognizing that behavioural medicine is an essential component of veterinary practice, this resource equips practitioners with the knowledge and tools needed to address one of the most common reasons for veterinary consultation and pet relinquishment. The text emphasizes preventive strategies, early intervention techniques, and client communication skills that are crucial for successful outcomes in behavioural cases.
