Abstract

Debates about the advantages and limitations of animal models for psychiatric research do not usually involve behavioral disorders seen in veterinary practice. Nevertheless, naturally occurring behavioral symptoms in domestic animals may comprise important models or provide a valuable perspective for human psychiatric disorders. We review the promising but preliminary research in this area.
