What we do
We diagnose the root cause of a behaviour
As behaviour vets, we diagnose the root cause of a behaviour holistically. Many behaviours can be caused by physical problems such as pain, skin, hormonal and neurological disease. They can also be caused by emotional issues like stress, anxiety, fear and phobias.
Behaviour vets are qualified in veterinary behavioural medicine, so we diagnose and treat these mental health issues. We are able to prescribe medication when required.
We only use evidence-based, fear-free methods in the rehabilitation (training) treatment of behavioural problems. We will never ask you to do anything which could damage the relationship you have with your pet.
