The Consultation Process:
Vet referral
Vet referral
As a Clinical Animal Behaviourist I require direct referral from your veterinary surgeon. This means completing some paperwork and agreeing to sharing your cats clinical history, all easy to do via my vet page. A health check may be needed if your cat has not been seen in the last month or so.
This is to ensure that your pet is healthy and to rule out any medical issues that may be contributing to behaviour problems. If your pet is suffering from any medical issues I will take this into account when designing a behaviour plan.
