Why is my dog behaving strangely?
You want your dog to be happy. But his behavior suggests something else. Maybe he’s acting unusually nervous or skittish. Loud sounds may cause him to tremble. A simple walk around the block could leave him panting and salivating. Or maybe you have an older dog that seems disoriented or has suddenly been having “accidents” around the house.
A dog that is experiencing frequent fear, anxiety, phobia, or brain aging may be suffering. If treatment is delayed, the problem becomes worse. The earlier behavioral problems are identified and treated, the better.
Below are some products that Virbac has developed to treat behavioral problems in dogs. If you have questions about any of these treatments, be sure to talk with your veterinarian. As with any treatment, always listen to your veterinarian’s instructions and read the product label.
