ANIMAL BEHAVIOR CONSULTATIONS is a professional service devoted to helping pet owners and veterinarians control undesirable pet behaviors. Our staff is committed to quality patient care. We offer a full spectrum of services including preventive counseling, therapy for behavior problems and training.
BEHAVIOR CONSULTATIONS: Dr.
Hunthausen has been a behavior consultant working with dogs, cats and people who
share their lives since 1982. Help
is available for all types of behavior problems including
housesoiling, destructive chewing, aggression, phobias, separation anxiety,
unruliness and many more. Consultations involve in depth history-taking,
temperament evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, discussion of behavior
modification and a comprehensive treatment plan. Depending on the problem,
consultations can be scheduled at the hospital or in the home.
Visits typically last one to two hours, but complex cases can take longer.
Follow-up consultations are conducted by phone or in person.
APPOINTMENTS:
Consultations
are by appointment and may be scheduled by calling 913.362.2512.
A behavior history form must be obtained from our office or at the link
below,
completed and returned at least 48 hours prior to the visit (these can be mailed,
faxed or emailed).
In order to rule out underlying medical problems, we strongly recommend a
complete physical exam by the pet's family veterinarian before the behavior
consultation. Pets that are urinating in the home should have a
urinalysis done.
FEES:
Fees
are charged according to the amount of time spent in consultation with Dr.
Hunthausen and are paid at the time of the consultation. Fees
VIDEOS: Videos can be very helpful in
assessing some cases. If you have a video of your pet's behavior and would
like to bring it to the consultation, please discuss this with Dr. Hunthausen.

INTRODUCING
PETS:
There
are easy ways and there are hard ways to introduce a new pet to other pets in
the home.
We can teach you the easy ways.
PREPARATION
FOR THE ARRIVAL OF A NEW BABY:
Introducing
your new baby to the resident pet can be tricky. The time to start
training and making adjustments is well before the baby comes home from the
hospital. We can teach you what to expect from your pet regarding behavior
changes and how to avoid problems.
