Vet behaviour Brisbane and Toowoomba

Types of consultations

1. Two hour vet behaviour appointment with revisit and 4 week followup included (Recommended) 

$520 (Travel included in the Brisbane region, Lockyer Valley or Toowoomba for initial home-visits)

  • Initial questionnaire
  • 2 hour initial appointment
  • Detailed written report and treatment plan
  • 30 minute revisit appointment included
  • Four weeks follow-up text, email, video support included


The four week follow-up is included to ensure the greatest chance of a successful outcome. This allows me to create a behaviour modification plan in small achievable steps that I can coach you through and provide help with any difficulties. This also enables me to monitor the effects of any medications if they are prescribed and adjust the doses.


************************************************


If you are not able to budget for the two-hour consultation with follow-up, I provide the following 30-60 minute appointments. I can provide some immediate management and behaviour modification plans. In some cases, this will be all you need for puppy or adolescent advice or training.  However, long-standing behaviour problems often need a more detailed investigation and a more ongoing treatment plan.

More details about the process

1. Please contact me for a brief discussion of your pet's problem and your goals via email (cate@engagevetbehaviour.com.au) or text (0456 957 096) with a brief description of the problem and I will endeavour to respond within two working days. 


2. Book a consultation.

  • A questionnaire will be emailed to you.
  • Completing the questionnaire before the appointment allows more time in the appointment to focus on the problem and demonstrate important skills for behaviour modification. Please return this at least two days before the consultation.
  • Please send important short (<1 min) videos as an attachment to a message, What's App, or as an attachment to the questionnaire.
  • If this appointment is a referral from your general vet or trainer please attach referral notes.
  • If the appointment is an online appointment, and hence I am unable to physically examine your animal, it is recommended that you have a prior appointment with your local regular veterinarian to assess health.  If the dog is exhibiting aggressive or extreme fear behaviours, we can discuss the best way to proceed.
  • I do not have medical facilities for Tuesday appointments. If your dog requires blood tests I will need to refer you back to your regular vet for these. Alternatively, you can organise these before your behaviour appointment. Blood tests are recommended if  your dog has any health issues, or before any medications are started (if these are part of the treatment plan).  A complete blood count and biochemistry is advised. 


3. Within the consultation I will explain the treatment plan to start the behaviour change process. I can demonstrate the first steps of your behaviour modification plan.


4. I will endeavour to email a behaviour report and treatment plan within three working days


5. If you have booked a two hour appointment, a two-week revisit is included and follow up support by text, video or email is provided for four weeks.

This is included to to ensure the greatest chance of a successful outcome. This allows me to create a behaviour modification plan in small achievable steps that I can coach you through and provide help with any difficulties encountered. This also enables me to monitor the effects of any medications if they are prescribed and adjust the doses.


I will usually respond to communication on the day but at least within two working days. I will respond as soon as possible if it is an emergency, safety concern or concerns about medication.


6.  Revisit consultations 

Further revisits are 30-60 minutes long and are typically at around 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 6 months for complicated behaviour problems.

  

Sometimes the initial consultation process with four week followup is enough to set up the pet-human team for continued improvement.

However, behaviour problems have often been longstanding and your pet has often experienced multiple and varied treatment strategies. The initial management and behaviour modification plans may need to be tweaked and new skills added. Any medications need to be monitored and may need to be altered. 

Prescriptions

If I have prescribed behaviour medications for your pet and you need a re-fill, these may be done within 6 months of the initial appointment. If I have not seen your pet within 6 months, or if the case is complicated, you may need to book a 30 minute or longer revisit appointment.
