The Behavioral Medicine Service is part of the North Carolina State University Veterinary Health and Wellness Center. We specialize in the treatment of behavior disorders in companion animals. These include anxiety disorders, elimination problems, compulsive behaviors, and numerous other problems in dogs and cats.

When seen at the Behavioral Medicine Service, patients are evaluated with their owners and a management program is developed. This generally consists of specific instructions regarding environmental management and behavior modification techniques. After a medical evaluation, behavioral medication may also be recommended. Telephone or internet consultation services are not available through the Behavioral Medicine Service until after a patient has been seen in our clinic. To learn more about the Behavioral Medicine Service, please select one of the options on the right (above).

The Director of the Behavioral Medicine Service is Dr. Barbara Sherman, a veterinarian and specialist in the field of veterinary behavior. Dr. Sherman is assisted by Dr. Margaret Gruen, also a board-certified veterinary behaviorist, and Dr. Marie Hopfensperger, clinical behavior resident.

Please note that the Behavioral Medicine Service has moved from its temporary location in Cary, NC to the Veterinary Health Complex at the College of Veterinary Medicine in Raleigh, NC. Please call 919-513-6999 weekdays from 8AM - 5PM for information and to set up an appointment. We see patients on Mondays and Thursdays from 9:00AM to 5:00PM.
