Emotional and Behavioral Treatment

puppy sadEmotional and Behavioral Treatment for Pets

As humans, we sometimes forget (or ignore) the fact that animals have emotions and moods just like we do. Each animal has his or her own personality and temperament. They react to people, animals, environment, and situations with a diverse range of emotions. These include joy, affection, pain, anger, fear, jealousy, depression, grief, and shame.

Animals undergo stress in their daily lives, also. A few examples include visitors to the house, trips to the vet or groomer, new additions to the family, or being left at home when everyone goes to work or school.

An animal’s behavior may be an indication that they are experiencing difficulty with their surroundings or a physical illness. Their behavior may be self-destructive, fearful or aggressive.

Treatment often includes tranquilizers or anti-depressants or the emotional state and behavior are ignored or punished.

Our philosophy of complete care includes addressing the emotional and mental needs of your animal, not just the physical needs. We offer many natural solutions to help with your animal’s general disposition, moods, and emotions naturally. Remember that the mental and emotional state in animals (& people) can also lead to physical sickness and disease. Sometimes a pet’s emotional issue is so intense that medication is necessary to help. We can help with that option too.

What People
Have Said

 "My 3 year old boxer, Sadie suffered from severe allergies. We did everything to make her as comfortable as we could, but she went two summers being miserable.  I decided to give Bicom a try and I couldn't be happier. It was the best summer Sadie has ever had! She has no staph infection on her belly; in fact she has hair and markings I hadn't seen since she was a puppy. Sadie didn't go lame this summer from her feet becoming so swollen with sores and we experienced only a few ear infections which is a major breakthrough since she got infections every few weeks in the past. The staff at Countrycare Animal Complex understands that your pet is a part of your family and they treat Sadie like she is their very own, she loves going to her treatments. Thanks Countrycare Animal Complex!!!!!"
