Behavioral challenges can affect your pet’s quality of life—and yours. At Red Rock Veterinary Health, we provide thoughtful and evidence-based behavioral evaluations and treatment plans to help address issues like aggression, anxiety, reactivity, and periuria/perichezia.

Many behavioral problems stem from underlying medical conditions, which is why we begin with a full physical exam and lab work to rule out or address any contributing factors. Our team is trained in low-stress, fear-free handling, creating a safe and calm environment for both you and your pet.

For complex or advanced cases, we collaborate with board-certified veterinary behaviorists and certified trainers, ensuring your pet receives the highest level of support through trusted referral partners. Whether you're dealing with a new concern or a long-standing issue, we’re here to help guide you toward solutions that work.
