Behavior modification drugs are valuable tools in veterinary practices for managing animal behavior problems.

However, they should be used alongside behavioral therapy and training for optimal results.

The use of medications to modify animal behavior has a relatively short history compared to human medicine:

Early observations: Traditional methods likely focused on environmental enrichment, behavior modification techniques, and identifying triggers.
20th-century breakthroughs: The discovery of psychotropic drugs in human medicine led to explorations of their potential application in veterinary behavior modification in the latter half of the 20th century.
Modern era of refinement: Ongoing research continues to refine existing medications and explore new options for targeted behavior management in animals.

Manage anxiety-related behaviors like phobias, separation anxiety, and noise aversion.
Reduce aggression caused by fear or anxiety.
Control compulsive behaviors like excessive licking or chewing.
Improve trainability by making animals more receptive to learning.
