Social Phobias: Impact, Diagnosis and Early Intervention

Topics of conversation: We are pleased to deliver this new discussion, in partnership with Veterinária Atual. Social phobias in dogs and cats affect the health and well-being of the animals and have a significant impact on the daily lives of their owners. Early prevention, proper socialization, and behavioural intervention can reduce the severity of these phobias and improve the quality of life for both animals and their owners.
