The study of animal behavior and veterinary science are two seemingly disparate fields that have become increasingly intertwined in recent years. As our understanding of animal behavior and welfare has grown, so too has the recognition of the critical role that behavior plays in the health and well-being of animals. Today, veterinarians and animal behaviorists work together to promote optimal animal care, diagnose and treat behavioral problems, and advance our knowledge of the complex relationships between animals and their environments.

Veterinarians trained in behavior recognize that "aggression" is rarely a moral failing; it is a clinical sign. A cat that hisses and swats is not "spiteful"; it is likely in pain or terrified. A dog that snaps during a paw exam is not "dominant"; it may have undiagnosed pododermatitis or arthritic pain. Behavioral science provides the framework for (LSH)—techniques involving gentle restraint, acclimation to the exam table, and the use of treats and pheromones. Studies show that LSH not only reduces bite risk to staff but also yields more accurate physiological data (e.g., heart rate, blood pressure) because the patient is not in a state of sympathetic overload.
