About This Service
Behaviour problems are one of the leading reasons pets are surrendered or euthanised prematurely. Our at home behavioural consultations assess your pet in their own environment, where problems are most apparent. We identify root causes, rule out medical contributors, and give you a practical, evidence-based plan.
What's Included & How It Works
- 01
Before the visit, you complete a behaviour questionnaire online so we have a clear picture of your pet's history, environment, and the specific concerns you're seeing.
- 02
Our vet visits your home and observes your pet in their natural environment, where behaviour problems are most apparent and least masked by clinic stress.
- 03
A full assessment is conducted: in-depth behavioural review combined with a medical screening to rule out pain or illness as a hidden driver of the behaviour.
- 04
You receive a written behaviour modification plan with clear, practical steps. We coach you through it during the visit so the plan starts on the right foot.
- 05
A follow-up telehealth check-in is included to review progress and adjust the approach. If a veterinary behaviourist is the right next step, we arrange the referral.
Pricing
Our behavioural consultation service is $249. Any additional services or medications will be quoted separately.
We'll always confirm costs before your visit, no hidden fees.
Your Veterinarian
Dr. Jina Song
DVM, University of Melbourne · PhD, University of British Columbia · CAETA Certified · 10+ years experience
Dr. Jina is a compassionate mobile veterinarian serving Melbourne, with a special focus on end-of-life care, palliative medicine, and helping families navigate some of the most difficult moments with their beloved pets. After spending years in busy emergency and general practice, a move to mobile veterinary care felt like a natural fit, more time with each patient, less stress for animals, and a deeper connection with the families we serve.
Frequently Asked Questions
Aggression (to people or other animals), anxiety and fear, compulsive behaviours, house soiling, destructive behaviour, and reactivity are the most common. If you're unsure, call us.
In some cases, yes. There are additional therapeutic approaches that can complement behaviour modification; we'll discuss all options honestly during your consultation.
Ideally yes, especially if the issue involves interactions between your pets. We can assess the dynamic directly and give more relevant advice.
Absolutely. We commonly help families prepare pets for medical procedures and travel using low-stress handling techniques and desensitisation plans.

At Home Euthanasia
A peaceful farewell in the comfort of home
Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the hardest moments a family faces. Our at home euthanasia service allows your companion to pass gently and peacefully in the place they love most, surrounded by family, without the stress of a clinic visit. We move at your pace and honour your need for time and space.
Quality of Life Consultation
Helping you know when it's time, without pressure
When your pet is ageing or living with a serious illness, it can be hard to know whether their quality of life is still good enough. This consultation is a calm, unhurried conversation and examination at home, where our vet assesses your pet's comfort, dignity, and day-to-day experience, and helps you decide what the right next step looks like. For some families that's palliative care to keep their pet comfortable for longer; for others, it's the clarity that it's time to say goodbye.
