Hi there! It's great that you're taking the time to understand your pet's behavior better. Whether you need a vet behaviorist depends on what you're dealing with. Some behaviors can be managed with tips at home, while others might need a professional touch.
If your pet is showing signs of aggression, anxiety, compulsive behaviors, or if there's a sudden change in behavior, it could signal an underlying issue. Sometimes these behaviors stem from medical conditions like pain, neurological problems, or hormonal imbalances. A vet would usually want to rule these out first.
For mild issues, try observing what triggers the behavior and if there are ways to avoid or modify those situations. Consistent routines, positive reinforcement, and plenty of exercise can sometimes help.
However, if your pet seems distressed, if you notice any harm to themselves or others, or if the behavior interferes with daily life, it might be time to consult a vet behaviorist. These professionals are specially trained to address complex behavioral issues and can offer more tailored advice.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
