Does your animal need some help with their behaviour?

Companion Minds offers a behavioural consultation service for dogs, cats, and other small animals, on veterinary referral.

We aim to make a thorough assessment of the underlying cause of the problematic behaviour and other contributing factors. Based on this assessment, we will then devise an individualised and tailored plan with you to help you manage the problem and work towards a resolution.

As a Certificated Clinical Animal Behaviourist registered with the ABTC who works on veterinary referral, this service may be covered by your insurance providers. To find out, check your specific policy with your insurance providers

What kind of issues can we help with with this service?

How to book?

• Complete our Behaviour History form online here:.

• Have your vet complete the Vet Referral form .
  
  Once we have received both of these, we will be in touch with you to book your consultation.

We are a vet referral only service. This means we require your vet to complete a form and send it to us before we can see you. Your referring vet will also receive a copy of the report.

This referral is vital to ensure that there are no underlying medical factors which could be contributing to or causing the problematic behaviour as well as for opening up the line of communication with your vet should further veterinary investigations be needed- see our blog on this topic.
