Home Alone: An Update on Canine Separation-Related Disorders
Presented by: Dr. Claudia Richter, DVM, DACVB
Wednesday, June 11, 2025, 8:00-9:30 pm ET
Separation-related disorder (SRD) remains one of the most common behavioral problem in the canine population, affecting up to 40% of canine patients in veterinary behavior specialty practices. They can be taxing to the human-animal bond by restricting the guardian’s ability to leave the home without their dog. This webinar will give an update on terminology and most recent research on the different types of SRDs. It will also discuss different treatment options, including medications and behavior modification.
Learning Objectives:
- Correctly identify and diagnose separation-related disorders in dogs
- Identify medical and behavioral differential diagnoses for SRDs in dogs
- Discuss challenges of SRDs with clients
- Make a treatment plan for dogs with SRDs, including medication options and behavior modification
This webinar is FREE for all attendees.
1.5 hours of RACE CE credits for HSVMA members only (pending approval).
