Pet behavior issues? You may not have to give up your pet.
Many behavior problems can be caused by a treatable medical condition. For example, a housetrained pet may begin urinating in the house due to a urinary tract infection that a veterinarian can diagnose and easily treat.
If there’s no physical cause for the problem, remember that many common pet behavioral issues have simple solutions. Check out our tips below, or consider consulting an animal behaviorist or trainer in your community. Your local animal shelters or rescue groups may offer low-cost veterinary care or training services or be able to refer you to other organizations that offer these services. Find your local shelters and rescues by visiting The Shelter Pet Project and entering your zip code.
