Hi there. It would help to have more information on her aggressive behavior in order to speculate about what might be causing it. For example - what situations tend to cause her to bite? Has this just started recently, or has it always been a problem? Etc. Without knowing more, I can tell you in general that it's always a good idea to check for medical issues that could be contributing to aggressive behavior. So yes, a vet visit would likely be a good place to start.
