Who referred you to the Florida Veterinary Behavior Service?
I am the owner(s) of the animal(s) seeking behavioral medicine treatment from the Florida Veterinary Behavior Service. Behavioral treatment, training, and advice when properly maintained after completion can be very helpful in resolving problem behaviors in animals. Because each pet is an individual, no guarantee or assurance can be made as to the results that may be obtained. Animal behavior including aggression is unpredictable and will remain unpredictable after its treatment. Florida Veterinary Behavior Service cannot promise that the animal's Behavior Service treatment, training, or advice will eliminate the animal's potential danger to persons or completely control the animal's aggressiveness. Animals should be closely supervised particularly around children and infants and should be controlled at all times including conformance with local ordinances and "leash laws."

I am bringing my pet to this appointment with a full knowledge of these risks and understand and accept the liability that is inherent in owning a pet who has shown aggressive behavior.

I understand that all fees are to be paid at the time of service and accept full responsibility for the charges incurred in the treatment of my pet

Telehealth appointments may be recorded for internal training only.

Helpful Hints...
Videos can be very helpful when assessing a pet's behavior patterns. Please upload videos of your pet's environment and the behavior problem to our Dropbox (videos must be under 2 minutes in length:) https://www.dropbox.com/request/pI2w3pXbf6Bq1uDjR9Uq

Do not under any circumstances provoke aggressive behavior in order to get us a video.

Bring all pets that are involved in the problem to the appointment if you can do so safely. If your other pets are not involved directly in the problem for which you are seeking help, it is better for you to leave them at home so that we can concentrate solely on the pet who needs help.

For intercat aggression (to the other cats in the household), it is essential that all cats who are involved in the fighting come to the appointment. If this cannot be done safely, please contact our office for further direction on which pets to bring with you to the appointment.

Bring your pet's favorite toys and treats with you to the appointment in case we treat your pets on that day or we can use those items during your pet's appointment.
