10 Reasons for being a Hospital and  Behavior Center
by Susan and Rolan Tripp, DVM of AnimalBehavior.Net
 
1.  Select behavior products coupled with pet behavior management protocols prevent the #1 reason that dogs and cats are euthanized - unsolved behavior problems

2.  Becoming a kinder, gentler "Pet-Centered" practice puts you in the forefront of veterinary medicine.
 
3.  Gain word-of-mouth promotion from clients seeing pets drag them in - not out - of your practice. 
 
4.  Early socialization and "gentling" results in less fearful or aggressive patients that are easier to treat.

5.  Adding a behavior associate and services to your practice keeps patients and clients in your practice.

6.  The first step in most behavior cases is to rule out any possible underlying discomfort with a comprehensive physical exam with diagnostics.

7.  Behavior medicine combined with behavior modification gives results to your clients sooner and keeps clients encouraged and willing to continue a behavioral treatment plan. 

8.  AAHA and AAFP minimum standards now require adding a behavior question to the exam history, and offering clients basic behavior education and services. Suggestion:  "Is your pet doing anything at home you wish he or she didn't do?" 

9.  Veterinary staff and clients enjoy learning more about their pet's behavior.

10.  It's the right thing to do.
