At St. Croix Veterinary Center, we recognize that behavioral issues can disrupt daily life and strain your bond with your pet.

What Behavioral Medicine Involves
Veterinary behavioral medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating behavioral concerns through a scientific and compassionate approach. This service goes beyond obedience training — it will address the emotional, environmental, and medical factors contributing to your pet’s behavior.
When we open in St. Croix Falls, we will work closely with you to develop a treatment plan tailored to your pet’s individual needs and your household’s lifestyle.
Behavioral Concerns We Will Address
Each pet is unique — and their behaviors reflect their life experiences, environment, and health. Some of the most common concerns we will address include:
- Separation anxiety
- Aggression toward people or other animals
- House soiling or litter box avoidance
- Excessive vocalization
- Destructive behavior
- Fear of loud noises or vet visits
- Compulsive behaviors like pacing or licking
- Reactivity and hyperactivity
From scaredy cats to high-energy dogs to withdrawn exotic pets, we will help you navigate behavioral concerns with care and confidence.
The St. Croix Veterinary Center Experience
When you bring your pet to St. Croix Veterinary Center for behavioral care, here’s what you can expect:
Initial Consultation
We will start with a full behavioral and medical history, discussing your pet’s routines, environment, and specific challenges. If medical causes are suspected, we may recommend diagnostics.
Personalized Treatment Plan
We then create a customized care plan based on your pet’s needs that may include behavior modification, environmental enrichment, training support, or medication when appropriate.
Ongoing Support
Behavior change takes time and consistency. Our team will guide you throughout the process, offering follow-ups and phone consults as your pet progresses.
Why Behavioral Medicine Matters
Unmanaged behavior issues not only impact your pet’s well-being — they can also affect your quality of life and lead to difficult choices, like surrender. With the right care, many pets can overcome challenges and thrive.
Behavioral medicine helps pets feel secure, confident, and understood — and strengthens your relationship in the process.
