Veterinary Behaviour Services NZ
Veterinary-led behaviour care for dogs, cats and horses. Online and in-person consultations across New Zealand.
Our veterinarians offer in-person consultations in the Lower North Island and Waikato, with online consultations available throughout New Zealand. We assess behaviour alongside physical health, pain and other medical contributors, working with families, trainers and primary veterinarians where appropriate.
We support animals experiencing fear, anxiety, reactivity, aggression, separation-related distress, inter-animal conflict, handling or veterinary-care concerns, compulsive behaviours, noise sensitivity, toileting concerns, travel distress and behaviour change. Each plan is tailored to the individual animal, their family and their environment.
