Which organization certifies veterinary behaviorists in the United States?

• A. ACVB
• B. CAAB
• C. AVMA
• D. CBCC

Answer: (A)

Certification of veterinary behaviorists in the United States is provided by the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists. This specialty board certifies veterinarians who complete an accredited residency in veterinary behavior and pass a demanding examination to become Diplomates, demonstrating advanced expertise in diagnosing and treating behavioral disorders in animals. Other groups operate in related areas but do not certify veterinary behaviorists. The CAAB designation exists in the broader field of animal behavior but is not the veterinary subspecialty certification. The AVMA is a national professional association for veterinarians and does not certify subspecialists. The CBCC credential is for canine behavior consultants and is not a veterinary board certification.
