Behavioral concerns are the principal cause of a weakened human-animal bond and pet relinquishment. Triaging behavioral concerns and providing early intervention may be the difference between a patient remaining in its current home or relinquishment. Prevention and intervention behavior services using a team approach may also improve pet retention through client education and appropriate assistance. Identifying and integrating qualified animal behavior professionals to assist with the hospital's behavior team ensures appropriate support is provided to the client and patient.
行为问题是导致人与动物关系弱化以及宠物被遗弃的主要原因。对行为问题进行分类并提供早期干预，可能是决定宠物是继续留在当前家庭还是被遗弃的关键因素。采用团队协作方式开展的预防和干预行为服务，也可以通过对客户进行教育并提供适当帮助来提高宠物的饲养率。识别并纳入合格的动物行为专业人员来协助医院的行为团队，可确保为客户和宠物提供适当的支持。
