While there are board-certified animal behaviorists, essentially mental health specialists, trained to deal with a pet’s psychological issues, there are no more than 100 across the country, and most are centered in major urban areas like Philadelphia. Most owners of troubled pets, especially in remote regions, may never get access to that expertise or even know it exists.
But if a new website – www.pennvetbehavior.com – takes off, that may soon change.
Thanks to a collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary Medicine, and Connect For Education, an online education company based in Virginia, animal doctors across the country will be able to consult – for free – with behavior specialists at the school on especially troubled patients.
Note: The above descriptive information came from the Philly Voice article below.
