Overall, the study of animal behavior and veterinary science is a rapidly evolving field that has significant implications for animal welfare. By continuing to advance our knowledge of these fields, we can promote a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between animals, their environment, and human society.
Modern veterinary science emphasizes "Fear Free" or low-stress handling. By understanding species-specific body language—such as a horse’s pinned ears or a cat’s dilated pupils—veterinary staff can adjust their approach to minimize trauma. This leads to more accurate physical exams, as stress often masks symptoms or alters vital signs like heart rate and glucose levels. 4.

Animal behavior is a crucial aspect of veterinary science, as it provides valuable insights into the physical and mental well-being of animals. Understanding animal behavior is essential for veterinarians to diagnose and treat behavioral problems, as well as to provide optimal care and management for animals. This paper reviews the current state of knowledge on animal behavior and its applications in veterinary science, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to understanding animal behavior and its impact on animal welfare.
