Pet Training & Behavior Counseling Services

Illness doesn’t always have a physical cause. Your pet’s behavior is one of the nonverbal ways to tell you how he or she is feeling. Loomis Basin Veterinary Clinic understands that correctly interpreting different kinds of behaviors is an important diagnostic tool.

A well-trained dog or cat that starts to exhibit inappropriate eliminations in your home or outside the litter box may have a medical problem or may have a behavior problem that could respond to appropriate medical therapy. Similarly, excessive licking, noise phobias, separation anxiety, and other undesirable behaviors may be caused by an underlying behavior disorder.

Just like people, some pets need extra help to be their best. Loomis Basin works with Dr. Leslie Cooper, a board-certified animal behaviorist, who helps determine the cause of such disorders as separation anxiety and obsessive behavior, and then develops a treatment regimen for the pet. This specialty care can help your pet return to the “good citizen” he or she had been in the past.
