One of the main reasons behind euthanasia of dogs is behavior problems. Each month hundreds if not thousands of dogs are euthanized or re-homed or abandoned due to canine behavior problems.
This leads to the need for behavioral services by veterinarians. Behavioral services will benefit both animal and its owners, such as the quality of life for dog and owner will improve. Most behavior problems lead to the band disrupt and reduce pet owner. Situation gets worse when behavior problems pushing the relationship on breaking point. In such a situation because of the lack of appropriate advice the animal is re-homed or euthanized.
In this condition the role of veterinarians as important in preventing canine behavior problems. Veterinarians have to work closely with prospective owners in selecting the right breed. Inappropriate BREED selection can lead to this behavior problems that result in early surrender of pets will rescue societies or worse pet euthanasia.
Advising clients about race selection is a difficult task. Different races have different, more or less predictable behavior characteristics. It is important to help potential owners choose the breed or type of dog that best fit their personal and family circumstances.
