I'm Dr Eloise Bright BVSc. (Hons.) MANZCVS (Veterinary Behaviour) and I own and operate Canberra Behaviour Vet. I understand first-hand how difficult and emotionally exhausting it can be to live with a pet with challenging behaviours. In fact, when I first graduated as a vet in 2006, I inherited a rescue dog called Duster who taught me a lot about the impact of anxiety on behaviour and how difficult that can be for everyone involved. I provide a judgement-free, friendly and adaptable approach in helping you with your dog 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 to help them feel safe in the world.

If you are trying to decide whether you need a vet or trainer, this handout has some additional information to help you decide. And please don't hesitate to contact me if you would like advice about whether I can help you and your companion.

The initial consultation fee includes:

The initial consultation fee includes:
- A thorough assessment of your dog's or cat's behaviour, starting with a questionnaire to gather more information prior to the consultation.
- A medical assessment (this may include a review of your pet's medical history with your permission).
- A home visit behaviour consultation with you and your pet in the comfort of your home (or a walk with your dog if this seems more appropriate).
- A tailored treatment plan including a written behaviour report that summarises my recommendations.
- A trainer referral if necessary and if you need assistance to implement a training plan (this is mainly for dogs, however cats can defintely be trained too)!
- Prescriptions for medications if required.
- A free follow-up consultation via Zoom (usually 4-6 weeks after the initial consultation).
- Free follow-up via email for up to six months (additional Zoom sessions may also be scheduled in this time too).
