What to Expect During a Consultation

During a veterinarian consultation at Southern Trails Vet, we conduct a thorough examination of your pet, including a physical check-up, reviewing their medical history, and discussing any behavioral concerns. Our veterinarians use this information to develop a personalized care plan addressing both health and behavior.

The Role of Medical History in Behavioral Assessment

A pet’s medical history is vital in understanding their behavior. Past illnesses, injuries, and changes in their environment can impact behavior.
