Pets can have a wide variety of behavioural issues, from simple house-training problems to severe anxiety and aggression issues.
Our team at Westend Veterinary Hospital diagnoses and addresses behaviour problems using an approach that draws on veterinary clinical medicine and behavioural medicine. We can assess your pet's behaviour and provide guidance to help you better understand and manage their needs.
Our goals are to help pets and their owners live together comfortably and safely, and to help strengthen the bond between pets and their families.
If you have concerns about your pet's behaviour, contact us. Let’s talk about how we can help.

Behaviour consulting gives our veterinary team an opportunity to discuss your pet's behaviour, assess potential contributing factors, and help you better understand what may be causing the issue.
Based on your pet's individual needs, we can provide guidance and recommendations for managing behavioural concerns at home. Our goal is to help you find practical ways to support your pet's well-being and create a safer, more comfortable environment for everyone.
There are a number of potential benefits to behaviour consulting for dogs. Here are a few benefits to consider:
Our veterinary team can help you explore the possible factors behind your dog's behaviour, including medical concerns, changes at home, fear, anxiety, stress, or other environmental influences.
Understanding what may be contributing to the behaviour is an important first step toward finding appropriate ways to support your dog.
We can provide practical guidance and recommendations tailored to your dog's needs and your home environment.
These suggestions may help you respond to behavioural concerns more consistently, reduce potential triggers, and create routines that support your dog's comfort and safety.
Behavioural concerns can affect your dog's quality of life.
Behaviour consulting can help identify ways to reduce stress, address contributing medical or emotional factors, and make your dog's daily environment more comfortable and predictable.
Learning more about your dog's behaviour can help you respond with greater understanding and confidence.
With appropriate guidance and support, you can develop a stronger bond and create a safer, more positive relationship with your dog.
