Pet behaviour consultations
Behaviour is communication. Our Behavioural Consultations at Vet HQ help identify and resolve issues like anxiety, aggression, or fear-based responses.
Our Fear Free® certified team takes a kind, scientific approach to behaviour, creating personalised plans that promote calm, confident pets.
“We don’t just treat behaviour, we build understanding between pets and people.”
Calm, clear behavioural support for pets
Each consultation includes a detailed assessment of your pet’s environment, triggers, and habits.
We create structured, achievable behaviour plans that fit your lifestyle, and we collaborate with trusted trainers if additional support is needed. The result? A stronger bond, a happier pet, and harmony at home.
Positive changes through compassionate care
Behavioural wellbeing is at the heart of holistic care. Addressing behaviour early prevents stress for both pets and families. Book a consultation at Vet HQ and take the first step toward a calmer, more connected life with your pet.

We have been bringing our pets to Vet Hq in Darlinghurst for almost a decade because, simply, they are the best! Dr Jess Green treats all her patients with thoroughness, compassion and true care. The entire nursing team are also spectacular and we will not be taking our pets anywhere else as long as Vet Hq is around.

The team at Vet HQ Darlinghurst are amazing! Everyone is so friendly and caring, and they really take the time to make sure your pet feels comfortable. The vets explain things clearly and you can tell they truly love animals. The clinic is clean and welcoming, and I always feel my pet is in the best hands.

We had a seriously wonderful experience here. The team is so friendly, thorough in their explanations for their care, and knowledgeable. I so appreciate a doctor taking the time to educate me as an owner; there’s no better feeling than being an informed decision maker and owner. Our golden retriever, Leo, had the best care…
