ACVB

The American College of Veterinary Behaviorists (ACVB) is a professional organization of veterinarians who have achieved board-certification in the specialty of Veterinary Behavior.  Board-certified specialists are known as diplomates. These individuals work with individual pet owners, other animal professionals, and facilities that care for animals in order to manage behavior problems and improve the well-being of animals.

Registration is now open for the 2013 Veterinary Behavior Symposium. Join us in Chicago, Illinois, Friday, July 19, 2013. Online registration is available (click here).
