The vets at Canberra Behaviour Vet understand first-hand how difficult and emotionally exhausting it can be to live with a pet with challenging behaviours. Dr Vicki and Dr Eloise have both owned anxious pets and understand first-hand how challenging it can be. We provide a judgement-free, friendly and adaptable approach to helping you with your dog's or cat's behaviour.
It is estimated that 20% of cats and dogs have an underlying anxiety disorder, which means that training alone is not always enough. And it can certainly make you feel very alone when you see all those other pets out there that don't seem to struggle with the things your pet does. Many dogs and cats also have a physical health problem that can impact their behaviour (pain, allergies, gastrointestinal disease, dementia or metabolic problems, for example).
If you are trying to decide whether you need a vet or a trainer, this handout has some additional information to help you decide. And please don't hesitate to contact us if you would like advice about whether we can help you and your companion. For a list of recommended trainers, please visit here.

The initial consultation fee includes:
