We offer presentations and coaching services to build staff awareness and knowledge of pet behavior to improve in-hospital experience, overall patient care and to enhance your client’s bond with their pet at home.
STAFF EDUCATION
BEHAVIOR MATTERS
Behavior is a leading cause of pet relinquishment. Prevention is the best medicine, and early identification is key for the most successful treatment. Make sure every staff member understands behavior basics, recognizes red flags and knows where to look for appropriate assistance.
Topics customized to your needs, here are some examples:
- Questions to ask at every visit
- Lifestage behavior wellness topics (puppy/kitten, adolescent, senior)
- Communication/body language
- Kids and pets
- Compassionate handling to decrease stress and fear
- Cooperative care benefits
- Training vs behavior modification needs
