Why choose a veterinary led behaviour service
Behavioural problems are rarely just training problems. They are often influenced by a complex combination of physical health, pain, emotional wellbeing, previous learning experiences and the environment in which an animal lives. Successfully treating these problems requires an understanding of both veterinary medicine and behavioural science.
What this means for your pet
As a Veterinary Surgeon with additional qualifications in animal behaviour, Dr Irene Welford-Christie is uniquely placed to assess how medical and behavioural factors may be interacting. This allows every case to be approached from a truly holistic perspective, ensuring that important underlying causes are not overlooked.
Physical and emotional health, together
Many behavioural problems can be influenced or exacerbated by pain, illness, hormonal changes, neurological disease or other medical conditions. By considering both physical and emotional wellbeing together, Irene develops treatment plans that address the whole animal rather than simply the behaviour that is being seen.
Close collaboration with your vet
Reset Veterinary Behaviour Clinic works closely with each animal's own veterinary surgeon throughout the assessment and treatment process. This collaborative approach ensures that behavioural recommendations complement any ongoing medical treatment and any further investigations required.
A clear report, shared with your vet
Following the consultation, a detailed behavioural report is provided for both the client and the referring veterinary surgeon. This ensures that everyone involved has a clear understanding of the diagnosis, treatment plan and recommendations, ensuring your pet receives consistent care from everyone involved.
“Irene gave us behaviour counselling on how to deal with the separation anxiety. She helped us to identify the trigger events and came up with action plans to help Charlie learn to cope with his new situation. Irene also prescribed pain relief and medication to help Charlie stay calm. Charlie is now much calmer, happier and able to cope.“
