The Behavioural Medicine service addresses the behavioural needs of animals ranging from those with mildly annoying behavioural problems to profound aggression which often result in aggression or other concerns.
We are committed to the concept that no animal or human should experience mental and emotional suffering, and our consultations and treatment plans are designed to redress such suffering. We use only humane, distress- and fear-reducing handling techniques and all of our behaviour modification is tailored to the needs of the species and the individual. We take a whole-animal care approach to healthy bodies, minds and families.
