2. A behavioral assessment of your pet.
3. Physical examination if the pet can be examined safely and with low stress techniques.
4. An explanation of the diagnoses, treatment options, recommended lab tests and medications, cost of treatment and likelihood of improvement over time with each treatment option.
Cost: $308.00
Additional costs which could be incurred at the assessment appointment include diagnostic tests, medications or supplements are recommended. We cannot estimate those costs for you without the doctor assessing your pet.
Once the doctor talks to you about your pet’s treatment options, you can decide which options are best for your pet and your schedule.
The doctor may prescribe medications/supplements, refer your pet to a behavior dog trainer in your local area, or recommend treatment appointments in-office or via telemedicine (FaceTime or Ring Central).
The doctor will recommend how often treatments should be scheduled if at all. Recheck appointments, treatment appointments, medications and or diagnostics such as lab work are in addition to the initial assessment.
A $100 prepayment is required to hold your pet's new patient appointment. We will refund the prepayment upon cancellation with 2 business days notice.

Treatment
Kayla and one of our patients, Willow.
Our behavior technicians or nurses will meet with you at the hospital, your home or another location to help you implement the behavior treatment plan laid out by one of our doctors. In addition, treatments can be made on an inpatient basis where our behavior behavior technicians or nurses will work with your pet regularly while your pet stays at one of our hospitals for the day. Treatment appointments are exclusively available to our patients.
At these appointments, a comprehensive treatment plan is written down for you. Specific behavior modification skills designed to meet your pet's needs are practiced and any medical treatments and medication changes are made if warranted.
These appointments are essential for the greatest likelihood of success in your pet’s treatment. They are a great opportunity for advancing your pet to the next steps in the treatment plan and troubleshooting challenges in the treatment plan in person. Before your pet’s treatment appointment, the doctor reviews your pet’s record, writes a treatment plan and reviews the case with the technician. The treatment report is reviewed by the doctor before it is sent to you. This service is available exclusively to our patients.
