Intake
Forms

The first stop on the path to behavioral wellness is completing your pet's behavioral and health history forms. These questionnaires are designed to collect the important information we need to understand the "big picture" of your pet's world - their environment, relationships, and routine. We also request your observations, concerns, and goals for treatment. Upon completion of the required forms, you will automatically be emailed a link to schedule your Behavior Counseling Intake Appointment.

Behavior Intake: History & Counseling Call

The next stop on your journey is speaking with a Certified Behavior Therapist for a Behavior Counseling Intake Appointment. This 45 minute phone call is your first opportunity to discuss your challenges and ask questions. Your therapist will review your pet's behavioral history to confirm a comprehensive understanding of your case. They will provide perspective, guidance, and the essential resources needed to get started. Your therapist will develop a unique and immediate action plan incorporating management, equipment, and safety before reserving your appointment with the doctor.

Body Language
Primer

Essential to understanding what your pet is thinking and feeling, Animal Behavior Wellness Center's Body Language Primers explore how our pets communicate with each other, and with us. Our pets are constantly communicating! Learning their body language will help to avoid conflict and fearful or aggressive behavior. We cover commonly misinterpreted body language and teach you to observe your pet's whole body - from their nose to their toes! Join us from the comfort of your own home for a fun and informative workshop - your children and extended family are all invited!

Initial Doctor Assessment & Treatment Plan

Our doctors are specially trained in the treatment of emotional and behavioral disorders of various species. In this 45 minute Doctor Behavior Assessment, a Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorist or Resident will thoroughly review your pet's behavioral and health history, discuss the underlying motivations for the presenting behavior(s), provide a diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment options. A comprehensive treatment plan will be enacted immediately. If medication is part of your pet's treatment plan, it will be prescribed and/or dispensed at this time.
