Animal behavior is the study of the actions and reactions of animals in response to their environment, social interactions, and internal states.

The modern veterinary behaviorist (a veterinarian with specialized training in behavior) treats conditions that were once dismissed as "training issues" as legitimate medical diseases:
As of April 2026, the integration of behavioral science into veterinary medicine has moved from a secondary consideration to a primary diagnostic pillar. This paper examines how practitioners now use "behavioral biomarkers"—subtle changes in activity and social interaction—to identify disease earlier than traditional clinical signs. We explore the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and wearable technology in automating these assessments and discuss the broader implications of the human-animal bond on treatment compliance.
