Reading list for veterinarians

The “Help I need to learn more about clinical veterinary behavior” reading list!

This is a list of basic, clinical veterinary behavior texts that we recommend for general practitioners looking to learn more about the fundamentals of diagnosing and treating behavioral problems, as well as when to refer a behavior case.
For those of you looking to further expand your knowledge of veterinary behavior please click here for the most current recommend advanced reading list. We also recommend attending behavior CE sessions, such as the annual ACVB-AVSAB scientific symposium held in conjunction with the AVMA convention.
