At 7 years old it’s hard to make as much impression on long standing anxiety but Max is proof that it is always worth seeking behavioural help as he is now able to be home alone without distress as well as attend outings that previously might have been too much over his capacity. He also enjoyed some box shredding!

Hudson has been on his behaviour journey with Animal Sense since 2018 and over that time we have dealt with all sorts of issues that are mostly well controlled now, so it is with sadness, but also joy for his caregiver, that we pass on his care to colleagues over east as he returns to Victoria with his family. We will miss seeing you sweet man Hudson!

As a pet guardian or professional, it can be difficult to measure improvement once the pet starts medication.

Medications, both daily and fast acting, can help improve behaviors. Here’s what you should watch for:

Indigo’s caregiver has worked very consistently, slowly and positively to allow Indigo to feel safe in the vet exam. She has had the support of her GP vet and has come such a long way. Teaching a chin rest is a great place to start.

Ready for VSB inspection…. Good times ahead for Animal Sense clients!

Here is Mia and her caregiver demonstrating her chin rest, taking it on the road, showing her enthusiasm to do a behaviour that allows for cooperative care!

Why we medicate anxious dogs and why it is not an option of last resort but part of a comprehensive treatment plan...

Henry is a very cool British Short Hair who has shown resilience and robustness with overcoming severe health issues and now is learning to be even more fulfilled with the use of enrichment that is calming and fulfils his seeking needs.

Not the fastest but reliable all the same, good boy Murphy!

Perth’s Behaviour Veterinarian

Animal Sense UNIT 3/ 42 Pearse Street, North Fremantle Western Australia 6159.

Only uses scientifically proven humane techniques to change behaviour.

Dr Nicole graduated from Murdoch University in 1987 and for over 25 years worked in general small animal practice seeing the complete range of small animal medicine and surgery cases. Over time her interest in animal behaviour and the mental state of her patients became more and more her focus, and, with that in mind, she undertook extra study in the field. In 2015 she gained entrance by examination to the ANZCVS in the field of Animal Behaviour and became the second veterinarian in Western Australia to exclusively see behaviour cases. She has a passion for low stress handling, cooperative care and that treatment of behavioural abnormalities in dogs and cats. She is a teacher of veterinary behaviour at Murdoch University Veterinary School and speaks to colleagues about clinical behavioural medicine.
