Observe without judgment. Support without blame. Treat the individual.
Because behaviour isn’t a personality trait, it’s a conversation. We’re here to help you translate.
The Veterinary Behaviour Difference: When Training Isn't Enough..
Behavioural changes are rarely just “bad habits.” More often, they are symptoms of underlying medical issues, brain chemistry, or past experiences. While training focuses on what a pet does, Veterinary Behaviour identifies why they are doing it.
By understanding the pet’s genetics, health, and environment, a higher level of care is provided:
- Identify the Root Cause: We differentiate between purely behavioural issues and hidden medical conditions like pain or cognitive decline.
- Medical Diagnosis: We diagnose and treat physical illness that often trigger stress or aggression.
- Evidence based Support: When needed, we prescribe medication to balance brain chemistry, making it possible for your pet to finally feel calm enough to learn effectively.
- Comprehensive Therapy: We create custom individualised medical and behavioural plans designed to treat the source of the problem, not just manage the symptoms.
When your pet will benefit from seeing us
- Self injuring itself or poses a danger to itself
- Appears constantly restless, “high-alert”, stressed and does not sleep well
- Vocalising and destructive when home alone
- Anxious or reactive at daycare/class and asked to leave
- Exaggerated responses/intense fear to loud noises and thunder
- Has bitten other animals and/or humans
- Performed repeated behaviours which appear to be lack of purpose and interferes with normal function or activities
- When you feel you have tried everything and nothing works
- When you have considered rehoming your pet or euthanasia
