Veterinary Referral for Behaviour Modification

Why is referral necessary? Behaviour problems may arise both directly and indirectly because of concurrent or previous medical problems. Before commencing behaviour modification work it is important for the animal’s vet to first rule out / treat any organic causes of the problem and to prioritise the diagnostic and treatment strategy to be used in any given case. Veterinary referral is therefore necessary for Julie T Daniels of Thinking Paws Ltd (credentials below) to commence behaviour therapy with any dog or cat. It is also a mandatory requirement for maintaining membership of professional bodies advocating the highest standards of animal welfare.
