Referring a veterinary behaviour case
Full behavioural assessment for dogs and cats
Referring a veterinary behaviour case is simple. I support veterinary colleagues with a wide range of behavioural presentations in both dogs and cats — from straightforward cases to more complex situations involving multiple issues, or multiple pets in one household.
I aim to work alongside you, using clear, evidence-based methods to diagnose and treat your patients’ emotional health and to provide your clients with the support they need. As a behaviourist listed on the CCAB register, you can be confident that every case is handled to recognised professional standards.
What I can help with
Cases I regularly take on include:
In dogs — aggressive behaviours, reactivity, resource guarding, noise fears and phobias, separation-related problems, pica, and repetitive or compulsive disorders, including excessive licking, tail chasing, and shadow chasing.
In cats — aggressive behaviours (towards people or between cats), house soiling and urine spraying, feline idiopathic cystitis/recurrent bladder blockage, fears and phobias, and overgrooming.
These lists aren’t exhaustive. I’m always happy to take on cases with overlapping behavioural or medical factors, and to help you find the most appropriate pathway for each patient.
Referral is simple
- Step 1: Upload the patient’s complete medical history, including any relevant test results, imaging and previous treatment notes.
- Step 2: Complete the referral form using the link below.
- Step 3: I will contact the client directly to arrange their consultation.
- Step 4: After the consultation, you will receive a detailed report summarising my findings and outlining any recommendations. This includes suggested medications where appropriate.
Not sure a full referral is the right step?
If a case would benefit from a full behavioural assessment — direct consultation with your client, a detailed plan, and ongoing support — then referral is the right choice. But if you’d simply like guidance on medication choices or what first-aid advice to give, a case review may be the better starting point.

Support for you, throughout
Referring a veterinary behaviour case never means handing it over and hoping for the best.
For cases referred for a full behavioural assessment, I provide free support to the referring veterinary surgeon for as long as the client’s behavioural package is active — via email, WhatsApp, or telephone.
