Managing Cat & Dog Behavior Problems in Zion, IL
Behavior problems in cats and dogs can be frustrating, overwhelming, and even heartbreaking. From anxiety and aggression to litter box issues or excessive barking, these challenges can strain the bond you share with your pet. In fact, behavior issues are the leading cause of pet relinquishment to animal shelters.

Our compassionate team believes that every behavior has a reason, and with the right guidance, understanding, and support, most issues can be resolved. Led by Dr. Linda Lewiston, who has advanced training in animal behavior, we’re here to help you rebuild trust and restore peace in your home.
