Animal behavior and veterinary science are intrinsically linked. Understanding behavior is not merely an adjunct to veterinary medicine but a core competency that impacts diagnosis, treatment, patient welfare, and human safety. This report explores the fundamental principles of animal behavior, its role in clinical veterinary practice, common behavioral disorders, treatment modalities, and future directions in the field. The integration of behavioral medicine into veterinary curricula and practice is essential for modern, holistic animal healthcare.
