***UPDATE*** 

 

Owing to ongoing health problems as well as COVID 19, I'm sorry to say that I am now unable to carry out house call behaviour consultations. I am now offering video consultations instead. As before, I will need your dog's veterinary history. Once I have your details and those of your dog, I will  send you a behaviour questionnaire to be completed with details of the pet's routine and the problems you are experiencing. Once this is received, I will arrange a mutually convenient time for the initial consultation.

 

Current fees are £250 for the first consultation payable once consultation is arranged. £125 per subsequent consultation as required. All fees may be claimable on pet insurance.

 

Following the consultation/s, you will receive an email summary of the advice given which will also be sent to your vet.
