What is ethology?

Ethology is the science that studies animal behaviour. The term ethology comes from the Greek  ethos  (custom, conduct) and  logos  (reasoning, study, science)

Clinical ethology is a specialty of veterinary medicine that deals with behavioral problems in companion animals. An ethologist is, therefore, a veterinary specialist in behavior, trained to diagnose and treat problems such as:

• Inadequate elimination (urinating/defecating in inappropriate places)
  

• Aggressiveness
  

• Conductas compulsivas

• Introduction of new animals
  

• Other behavioural problems
  

• Separation anxiety
  

• Stress (moving house, building work, babies...)
  

• Cognitive dysfunction in geriatric animals
  

• Fears and phobias (noises, people, other animals...)
