Pet Behaviour

All pets have their own personalities, quirks and traits

All pets have their own personalities, quirks and traits; however sometimes they may need a little extra help and guidance. We are pleased to announce that we are now able to offer behaviour consultations with a specialist at our Pershore Branch Surgery.

Odette will be able to offer advice and tips for a range of behaviour issues, such as:

  • Anxiety at the vets
  • General training tips
  • Mild separation stress
