Veterinary Behaviour Consultations

What happens during a Veterinary Behaviour Consult?

A thorough history form is provided for the family to complete prior to the appointment.
During the visit, the history form is reviewed, and specific concerns are discussed. If the pet is keen to interact, some of the behaviour modification homework recommended may be started or demonstrated.

By the end of the appointment, a treatment plan is set out and includes:

1. Environmental Management

Changing or adapting the surroundings to protect the pet and those it might contact.

2. Behaviour Modification

Specific relaxation skills can be taught to help your pet manage their emotional state.

3. Medication

(if indicated) with brief explanation of what the medication does and detailed instructions for use.

4. Resources

PDF copies of various handouts and links to recommended equipment and online resources.
