First visit path
Starting point
When medicine may help
The right starting point depends on the support your pet needs
New patients begin with a clear entry point. Choose the path that matches whether you need a detailed history first or a veterinarian-led psychiatry evaluation.
Psychiatry evaluation
A veterinarian-led evaluation used when medical review or medication support may be part of the behavior care plan.

Care pathway
Medicine, learning science and practical work at home
Care moves from assessment into a usable plan, then coaching and follow-up so the work continues where your pet actually lives.
01
Assess
Document the pattern, context, and medical considerations that shape the behavior concern.
02
Plan
Build a prioritized plan that can include veterinary psychiatry, environmental changes, and learning-based work.
03
Coach
Practice the day-to-day steps families need so the plan is usable between visits.
04
Follow up
Adjust the plan as the animal responds and as home life changes.
