Before we can book an appointment to see your dog or cat, you need to fill in this questionnaire
The animals we live with don’t always behave the way we want or need them to. If your dog or cat is behaving in a way that concerns you or is causing problems for you, a consultation with a professional may be the solution.
A veterinary behaviour consultation is a consultation conducted by a caring professional veterinarian. There is an in-depth questionnaire about your pet that needs to be completed before you meet with our veterinarian.
Consultations are either conducted at your veterinary practice (see our list of participating practices here) or at your home and last for approximately 1 hour. In both instances, it is best if everyone who interacts with the pet on a frequent basis is present for the consultation.
During the consultation, aspects such as:
- Where did this behaviour come from
- How has the problem progressed
- What role does your pet play in your life
will be discussed and an appropriate achievable treatment program will be recommended.
The treatment programme may involve medication, complementary therapies such as pheromone products, behaviour modification techniques and environmental changes.
