However, underlying physical health problems, like pain or illness, can contribute to these issues. Studies show that up to 83% of dogs referred to veterinary behaviorists have an undiagnosed physical issue. Research found that 73% of dogs with excessive licking behavior had an underlying GI disease, and dogs with atopic dermatitis are more likely to have behavior problems. And it’s not just dogs — research has shown that 38% of cats seen by a behaviorist for urine marking also had a physical problem. This highlights an important point: behavior issues in pets are often more complex than we realize.\nOn this episode of the Inside Scoop we're tackling this crucial topic with Dr. Lisa Radosta, a board-certified veterinary behaviorist, and discussing the often-misunderstood world of behavior medications and answering key questions like:\nHow do you know if your pet needs medication for behavioral issues?\nWhen should you reach for meds, supplements, or diet changes?\nWhat risks should you consider when using behavior meds long-term?\nHow effective are supplements for managing behavior problems?\nOriginal LIVE aired Jan.4 2025.
