It is a rapidly growing field. Understanding ethology is crucial in animal training; considering the natural behaviour of different species or breeds allows trainers to select the animals best suited for a specific task. Furthermore, it enables them to encourage naturally occurring behaviours while discouraging unwanted ones.<\/p><p>Veterinarians at Hospital Veterinario Las Tablas, in Madrid, focus on the prevention and treatment of disorders linked to the management, behaviour, nutrition, and genetic selection of pets. Many anomalous behaviours shown by companion animals are associated with underlying pathologies. For instance, dogs may show aggression towards family members due to joint pain, epilepsy, or endocrine diseases such as hypothyroidism. Similarly, cats may urinate outside their litter box or develop alopecia on the abdomen due to urinary stones.<\/p><p>Handling issues\u2014where respecting an appropriate socialisation period and weaning is vital\u2014as well as the introduction of a new pet into multi-cat households, hygiene training in puppies, separation anxiety, feline stress, environmental enrichment, noise desensitisation, and phobias&#8230; all these alterations are the focus of this specialism and require a consultation with a veterinary ethologist.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2048e61\" data-id=\"2048e61\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc7c821 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dc7c821\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" width=\"724\" height=\"483\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-14472 lazy\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.unavets.com\/lastablas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/Ethology.jpg\" data-lazy=\"https:\/\/www.unavets.com\/lastablas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/Ethology.jpg\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac84b19 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"ac84b19\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"tel:912876237\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"far fa-calendar-alt\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Book an Appointment<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethology is the veterinary specialism concerned with the prevention and treatment of conditions associated with the management, behaviour, nutrition, and genetic selection of dogs, cats, and other companion animals.
