As a behaviorally-focused clinic, we take a pragmatic approach to behavioral issues.

Looking first at the medical aspect of behavior, we seek to rule out any underlying medical condition. For example, we have had patients come in that are urinating in the house only to find out they are in the early stages of a treatable urinary tract infection. Pet health problems start as or are influenced by behavior issues, and even a healthy pet may have behavior problems that disrupt home and family life. We can provide advice and recommendations regarding the correction of problems such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling, and aggression.

The doctors at Sully Animal Hospital will help guide you and your pet toward the right type of training to address your pet’s behavioral issues.

Our doctors are Fear Free Certified & we now offer Behavioral Consultations!

Depending on the behavior of your pet, we may send to the Behavior Wellness Center in Fairfax for a consultation with Dr. Pike.
