 Full Service Behavioral Consults

 

  Behavioral consults are recommeded for problems that are decreasing the quality of life for you and your pet.

A sample of problems that need behavior consultation:

  • human or housemate aggression
  • separation anxiety
  • urinating out of the box and others

 

 

 Behavioral consults consist of:

  • extensive physical exam (up to 50% of behavioral problems are due to health problems)
  • full history taking   
  • home video review of problem 
  • baseline blood tests and any other tests such as X rays to find out about health problems

 

                            

 We need as many family members present as possible to get the whole history and work out the treatment plan. A history form will be mailed to you before your appointment to get most of the history. Home videos really help to show the whole picture and are neccesary to accurately evaluate your pet's behavior. 

 You will recieve a behavioral treatment plan including medical treatment necessary to begin to change your pet's behavior. We focus on treating the whole pet, not just the problem. The veterinary staff will follow up with phone calls or email weekly or more frequent depending on your pet's progress.  Follow up appointments will be scheduled as neccesary.

Most appointments will take up to 2 hours.  A complete pre exam history and video helps tremedously in making an accurate diagnosis and custom treatment plan. Each pet has an individualized plan written, with both you and your pet's best interest in mind.
