Rolan Tripp, DVM, CABC
introduction
Nice to e-meet you! My name is Rolan Tripp...
These days it is possible we might never be in the same room, but that does not mean that I can't help you with my veterinary knowledge.
There is more information below, but as a veterinarian I have always been fascinated by trying to understand how and what pets THINK. I created a website, www.PetHappiness.net, that can help anyone understand why pets engage in unwanted behavior - and how to gently resolve any issues.
When I was doing general practice I noticed SO MANY pets (especially dogs) seemed to have BOTH itchy skin or ears AND behavior issues. That was the beginning of my interest in Veterinary Behavior Medicine with a special interest in Veterinary Psychodermatology, and Pet Separation Distress. (Contact)
