Cat Behaviour Support
Cat Behaviour Consultations
We work as a team which includes veterinary behaviourists who will be able to discuss possible medical contributions to your pets behaviour. As part of the consultation process we can consider whether your pet may benefit from any medication to help them progress. The details of which would then be discussed with your referring vet. This is all in addition to generating a detailed behaviour modification and training plan tailored to your lifestyle and both you and your pets needs.
We can offer remote (zoom consultations) both within the UK and internationally. If you are based within a 30 minute drive of Lincoln, UK, postcode: LN6 9NQ, then we can also offer home visits as either the initial consultation, or as a follow up to the initial consultation.
Following the initial consultation you have our support with implementing the designed plan for up to 2 months. If further support is needed after this, we can help with this too, through a revisit consultation. Behaviour consultations can only be offered on veterinary referral: this means that you will need to ask your own vets to complete our referral form and send us a copy of your pet’s full veterinary history.
If you are based outside of the UK, or more than 30minutes drive from LN6 9NQ then we can offer all support remotely via zoom/phone/email.
If you would prefer an in-person consultation initially then this may be possible (depending on location), so please contact us to discuss: admin@petbc.co.uk
So what is included?
Included in the package is review of the pre-consultation information which you complete when booking, the consultation itself, a comprehensive written report after the consultation, and up to 2 months of behavioural follow up support and advice which if within 30minutes of LN6 9NQ may also include in-person support. Initial consultations typically last between 1-2 hours.
So what is not included?
Sometimes follow up veterinary tests or procedures may be recommended which will usually be performed at your own vet practice. Any medications recommended will also be dispensed directly from your veterinary practice.
What is the cost?
Initial behaviour consultations for cats are priced at £345.
If your pet is insured for behaviour and you're considering a claim through insurance, please see our insurance page for more information on how we can help with insurance claims, including direct claims.
Our fee includes a consultation (usually up to 2 hours and typically on zoom initially) and up to 2 months of follow up support as described above. Any in person training session of up to 45 minutes may also be included where suitable and for those who are based within 30minutes drive of LN6 9NQ.
Revisit consultations for cats are priced at £320. These can be booked up to 6 months after the date of the initial behaviour consultation. The price of a revisit consultation includes up to 2 months of follow up support.
What do I need to do to get booked?
You will need to download and complete the pre-consultation questionnaire (see link below) in as much detail as possible and submit this to us before we can confirm your appointment. Alongside your completed questionnaire it is often useful to send us a basic line drawing of your house layout, noting where resources (food, water, litter trays etc.) are located, as well as resting places.
Please discuss your responses with the whole family and indicate any areas of disagreement between individuals. Please include as much information as possible.
We will also need a veterinary referral from your vets for each pet. This can be requested from your vets by you, or by us.
Once we have completed history forms and veterinary referral for all pets you wish to be seen, we can book and confirm your appointment.
If the presenting problem includes multiple pets, we will need referrals and history forms completing for each pet but the fee is for the consultation, not per pet. I.e. if the problem is aggressive behaviour between 2+ cats within the home the fee is £345 for the consultation not £345 per cat.
With video footage, we do not need to see the problem behaviour in most cases so please do not set up a situation to film the problem behaviour for us. If we need any specific video footage, we will ask you and support in obtaining this in the best way.
