Decoding the Wild: The Essential Intersection of Animal Behavior and Veterinary Science
| For Pet Owners | For Veterinary Teams | |----------------|----------------------| | Don’t punish—it increases fear and aggression. | Use low-stress handling techniques (Feline Friendly® or Fear Free® certified). | | Video the behavior at home for your vet. | Prescribe pain relief trial before assuming “behavioral” issue. | | Keep a journal: what happens 5 min before the behavior? | Learn to read calming signals (lip licking, yawning in dogs). | | Never use citronella or shock collars for anxiety. | Train staff to recognize fear, not label as “dominant” or “mean.” | Zooskool- Www.rarevideofree.com - 79
