We will take any samples (cytology, blood, urine, etc) at the consulting clinic and take them back to the hospital for analysis. We will follow up via Telehealth, and any medication will either be provided at the time of consultation, OR you will be requested to pick it up from the hospital after we have analysed any samples and made a plan.

A Practical, Collaborative Approach
Successful behaviour management requires understanding both your dog’s individual needs and your family’s lifestyle. Our consultations focus on achievable recommendations that improve everyday life while supporting your dog’s confidence, welfare, and long-term wellbeing.
Individual Management Plans
Recommendations are tailored to your dog’s personality, behaviour, environment, and the goals you hope to achieve together.
Veterinary Perspective
Behaviour is assessed alongside your dog’s physical health to identify medical factors that may be contributing to behavioural changes.
Ongoing Guidance
Where appropriate, follow-up appointments help monitor progress and provide continued support as your dog develops and responds to their management plan.
