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.
