Helping you understand your pet’s behaviour and support their needs, with our behaviour vet at Campbellfield.
Behaviour consultations
Some behaviours are a sign that your pet is stressed, scared or unwell. A behaviour consultation with our vet looks at the whole picture, including your pet’s health, to understand what’s really going on. We focus on compassionate, evidence-based solutions that address the underlying cause, not just the symptoms.
Our behaviour vet can help dogs and cats with:
Stress when left alone, often leading to destructive behaviour
Growling, snapping or biting at people or other animals
Weeing or pooing inside, even though they’re house-trained
Ongoing stress or fear, even when there’s no danger
Fear of loud or specific sounds, like storms or fireworks
Things like pacing or excessive grooming

Book your consultation at least four days in advance. Behaviour consultations are only available at our Campbellfield clinic.
Before your visit, we’ll send you a detailed questionnaire to complete and return, so we can prepare for your consultation.
Your consultation runs for one hour and costs $345. This gives the vet time to observe your pet closely and talk through your concerns.
We often recommend follow-up conversations, to see how things are going and make any adjustments to help your pet.

If your dog or cat is anxious, reactive, fearful or showing behaviour that worries you, a vet behaviour consultation can help. At Lort Smith Campbellfield, our behaviour veterinarian works with you to understand the cause of your pet’s behaviour, including any medical factors, and to build a practical, compassionate plan. Consultations run for one hour, and we can help with separation anxiety, aggression, noise phobias, house-soiling and repetitive behaviours.
