About the expert
Focus: Behavioral support for pets and caregivers during chronic illness and oncology care
Board-certified veterinary behaviorist (DACVB) focusing on the intersection of behavior medicine and chronic illness care. Operates clinical practice and consults across veterinary specialties. Works on how a serious diagnosis (such as cancer) can disturb the caregiver-pet bond and how structured interventions (medication, household routines, positive reinforcement sequencing) can protect the pet's emotional well-being during long treatments.
Why this matters
Helps explain why pet anxiety can worsen during cancer treatment, and what specific behavioral tools (calming medication like Trazodone, consistent routines, positive reinforcement in the right order) can protect the caregiver-pet bond over a long treatment course. Strongest on behavior medicine in clinical context; framework is mainstream-aligned with fear-free veterinary practice.
