Historically, veterinary curricula dedicated very little time to ethology (the science of animal behavior). The primary focus was on clinical pathology and surgical techniques. Behavior issues were often dismissed as "bad training" or "dominance problems" rather than medical phenomena.
In veterinary science, behavior is often the first clinical sign of a physical ailment. A cat that stops grooming might be suffering from arthritis; a dog that becomes suddenly aggressive might be experiencing neurological pain. By integrating behavioral science, veterinarians can diagnose underlying medical issues much faster than through physical exams alone.
