For Vets


"I (as the primary veterinary surgeon) referred Fidget (a 1 year old, at the time of referral, male Norfolk terrier) to DVBP for signs of generalised anxiety, especially around other dogs. Fidget now copes with life very well. He is on individualised medication and has developed into a very happy and confident little dog. We have referred other animals to DVBP too and I have been very impressed by the detailed individualised reports and how each animal is treated on a completely individual basis." Jake, vet in Hertfordshire.

We aren’t your average animal behaviour company! We are a multi-disciplinary team offering a range of services.

Whether you and your practice want to fully refer a case or just need behavioural input on a case, we can help. We can provide guidance and advice with:

  • behaviour management of animals in your practice and individual complex cases
  • client management when the animal caregiver cannot afford a full referral
  • behaviour drugs and dosage


We offer the following services for vet practices:

If you are a non-veterinary professional, please see the services we specifically offer For Non-Vet Animal Professionals.

  • "I loved the service I got from them, I think they were great. The behaviourist and trainer I dealt with were both very lovely. It was great that you could send updates and get a reply - it was a really good service and I was really impressed with them."

    Murphy, 3 year old Springer x Cocker Spaniel who displayed distance increasing behaviour to his owners. Managing his environment and avoiding triggers especially in new situations was severely limiting his owners lives.
  • "I was almost at the point if he continued we wouldn't be able to keep him - he was biting my son and all of us... it was bad, and massively effecting all of our lives. We couldn't risk that. There was no second home for him so to be here now is massive."

  • "When we contacted you we had been on the verge of returning him to the breeder and I was pretty terrified of him. My son said: “Imagine, we almost sent him back, he would probably have been put down if we had!” That really hit me because that’s a reality for a lot of dogs. "
