Vet-to-Vet Consultations
What a Vet-to-Vet Consultation Involves
Vet-to-vet consultations provide specialist behavioural input for veterinarians seeking support on behavioural cases. This includes diagnostic support, treatment planning, medication guidance, and collaborative case management for complex or difficult-to-treat presentations.
Consultations can be conducted by phone, video, or written correspondence, depending on the nature of the case and the referring veterinarian's preference. Formal referrals for full behavioural assessment are also accepted where a more comprehensive evaluation is required.
Input is grounded in the same clinical reasoning, diagnostic framework, and evidence-based approach applied in direct patient care.
What to Expect
Get in touch to discuss the case and determine the most appropriate format for the consultation. Case summaries, history, and relevant records can be submitted in advance to support a focused and efficient discussion. Formal written opinions or referral reports are available where required.
Who This Service Is For
This service is intended for veterinarians in general or specialist practice who are managing patients with behavioural concerns and would benefit from specialist input.
A vet-to-vet consultation is appropriate when:
- A patient presents with complex or persistent behavioural concerns that have not responded to initial management
- Guidance is needed on behavioural diagnosis, differential diagnosis, or treatment planning
- Medication options for anxiety, fear, or other behavioural conditions require specialist review
- A formal referral for a full behavioural assessment is being considered
- Collaborative case management would support continuity of care for the patient
