Veterinary Behavioral Medicine
The Mount Laurel Behavioral Medicine Team is committed to providing the highest-level behavioral medicine care to your pets. We know that the key to whole health depends on integration of physical and emotional well-being, and that it is essential to treat both to provide the best quality of life for your pet. Understanding that physical and behavioral health are inseparable, our team strives to ensure that the whole health of your pet is considered throughout their behavioral medicine therapy. We will work closely with your pet’s medical care team and build a behavioral medicine treatment plan to take into consideration their whole health. Our behavioral medicine team will evaluate your pet’s physical health and abnormal behaviors to best understand how underlying medical problems may be contributing to your pet’s unwanted behaviors and how their behavioral concerns could be contributing to unresolved/chronic physical ailments.
Whether you are struggling with your pet’s fear, anxiety, aggression, separation concerns, compulsive disorder, housetraining issues, elimination out of the box, undesirable or destructive behaviors, self-harm or other struggles to live in their own skin, we can provide you with the diagnosis and treatment you need to get to the root of the problem, better understand your pet and improve their behavior and emotional health.

What if I need additional support?
Managing our pets who suffer from fears, phobias and aggressive behaviors can be whelming, upsetting, and scary, but you don’t have to do it alone. While our Behavior Program is designed to address your pet’s emotional and mental well-being, we understand that yours is just as important.
The goal of our Behavior Family Support Groups, led by our social worker Caroline Cox, is to allow families going through similar journeys to connect, foster a sense of community and provide emotional support to each other.
Open to families who have pets who are currently under the care of Dr. Shana Gilbert-Gregory
