HAPPY PET, HEALTHY HOME

We’re Brisbane Behaviour Vet

Having a pet with behavioural issues can be confusing and confronting. But, did you know those less-than-ideal behaviours are often caused by undiagnosed mental issues or emotional triggers?

At Brisbane Behaviour Vet (BBV), we use evidence-based techniques to diagnose the underlying cause of behavioural issues in dogs and cats. Through tailored behaviour modification training, reviewing environmental factors, and prescribing appropriate medication where needed, we help you enhance the life of your pet (and the bond they have with you).

Here are our top FAQs:

What is a Behaviour Veterinarian?

A behaviour vet is a registered veterinarian with further training and qualification in behavioural medicine. We are professionally trained and qualified to correctly diagnose an underlying cause of your pet’s behavioural issue and prescribe appropriate treatment, which may include a behavioural modification program, environmental management, and medication. We look after your pet’s mental health and behavioural problems while taking their overall physical health into consideration.

Do you only treat dogs?

Currently, we work with both cats and dogs (and their owners!).

How is a Behaviour Vet different from a trainer?

Training is in no doubt essential in teaching our furry companions life skills. However, many behavioural issues are not obedience-related problems. Training alone will not resolve the underlying cause, such as anxiety and fear, affecting your pet’s ability to learn. The most obedient dog will still escape the yard when they panic in a storm!

Behaviour problems may be contributed by other underlying or concurrent medical conditions. Therefore, assessment by a veterinarian is very important, rather than relying on training to help resolve the issue.
