Behavet Reviews 

Brilliant help and support. Dr Jacqueline was so friendly and supportive and the 90minutes shot by with telling her the problem and sh suggesting solutions . It had not dawned on us that our 15 month old was over aroused with too much freedom and games and long walks and was not getting enough sleep!

The clinician listened really well and helped educate me on how to bets help my dog. Very impressed.

Communication is excellent. Very well structured consultation with an excellent plan of things to work on. Really hopeful it will help our dog with his behaviour.

We have been working with Behavet for 11 months regarding our boy. Unfortunately, despite our hopes, they were unable to provide the help he needed. The first six months of support were very positive, but as time went on, it became clear that progress was limited, and we began to feel that our case was deprioritized.

Our consultant has already completed a handover with our vets, even though we still have another month of sessions remaining.

Unfortunately, our insurance did not cover the costs, so it came out of our own pocket.

We have had our boy for 18 months and have struggled to manage his reactivity. Because Behavet was unable to support us to the extent needed, we are faced with the heartbreaking decision to return him to the rescue centre.

I hope others are more successful as we were assured that Behavet could help. We are heart broken 😢

We are not far into the journey but so far impressed with the initial consultation, communication and general service so far.
Had a fantastic first consultation with Dr. Victoria who spent over 2 hours with us. First we answered questions about our dog and then were given a very thorough run through of all the areas that can be improved with an in depth plan for the next 4 weeks until the follow up appointment.
The insurance process was very easy, we had to submit a pre-approval request which is not normally done but Behavet made the process so quick and simple.

I had a great first consultation with Dr. Ellie a couple of days ago. She was so knowledgeable, insightful, and kind. She even extended our time to include more teaching of strategies specifically tailored for our dog. Then she followed up the next day with a recording of the consultation, notes, plenty of additional resources, and a report to our vet. I’m starting to use the strategies with my dog and they are making a difference already! I feel confident to know what to do and why and I can email Dr. Ellie anytime. Our follow up is in a month. I’m excited for the progress with our dog and so grateful for her support and the Behavet organization. Absolutely top notch!

Really happy so far. The Behavet team keep in constant contact and are there should you need a reassuring chat.
All insurance paperwork was seamlessly handled by them.
It's early days but my dog is responding well to the training and we are looking forward to our next session.

Very clear and backed up with informtion helps remember

My experience with behavet has been nothing short of amazing. The team is compassionate, knowledgeable and very understanding. They take their time to really understand and answer any wisdoms you might have. The knowledge, compassion and understanding I’ve gained as a result are priceless. My dog and I have came a long way from where we started. The difference for us is night and day. Thank you.

Loved how we were listened to and not judged. Extremely lovely members of staff. Highly recommend

Behavet is an amazing company, Tom Mitchell has been my behaviourist and helped me so much not just with my boy Bear, but supports me too. Bear needed to be crate rested for 6 wks as an 18wk old puppy which has had lifelong recuperations, challenges surfacing from time to time. He also struggles with anxiety and Tom is helping me to help him with various coping strategies and monitoring his medication. Cannot recommend Behavet enough, they are awesome.

As a dog trainer and behaviour consultant I have found the resources and support that Behavet offer to be incredibly helpful, providing up to the minute, evidence based research that underpins all the material they offer. Tom Mitchell and his team are very highly qualified, dedicated and passionate about helping pet parents to have the skills to help their companions to survive and thrive in the world. Caring, kind and compassionate, with a wealth of techniques and plans that work! I have very much enjoyed all the courses I have attended, and have recommended Behavet to some of my clients when the expertise of a vet behaviourist opinion is required, with excellent results. I would highly recommend!

Wow! My experience with Behavet has been first class and in following the programme that was put together specifically for my dog, I’ve got amazing results for my dog’s struggles with environmental distractions. He is now really choosing to engage with me and disengages easily from things that he once found very difficult to ignore. The plan was easy to follow, not overwhelming at all and the team are so welcoming, they work with your needs in mind too! There’s loads of support offered and they are genuinely keen and determined to help you and your dog get the results you want.

Dr Tom and Dr Anita have been so helpful. My Westie was a challenge from puppyhood and their guidance has really helped Reggie transform into a much calmer and pretty cool dog. They have also helped me feel that I am a good owner and his behaviour was not my fault. Everything I have learned through Behavet has always been positive, ethical, and the results speak for themselves. Always good humoured, I wouldn’t go anywhere else if my next dog needs behaviour help.

As a vet I have referred several clients to Behavet as I honestly believe they have the most up to date training and behaviour knowledge. I have also used their service for my own dogs, one had massive struggles and more recently for our new pup to make sure we don’t make as many mistakes this time round!!! They are totally online, which in this day and age is becoming the norm, and to be honest I think it does work. Dr Anita has been our clinician but I have had feedback from several owners who have used many of the vets and been very happy.
As with all behaviour work, the results come from the work put in by the owner, and there is no magic pill or wand! That said the concepts are clear and easy to follow and can be implemented without any fuss. As a busy person I can attest to the 3-5mins a few times a day makes a difference!!
Any hiccups can be chatted through and the videos they send are well put together and explain the concepts well.
I have seen some reviews that talk about costs, but this is an area of expertise that not all vets are trained in and requires much further study and education even after gaining your MRCVS, so I think it is justified. Also the fact that appointments are available on weekends and evenings to make for owner convenience is a godsend.
I find the behavet team fun, friendly and approachable. I have no affiliation to them and until my own struggles had not heard of them so can give an honest review based solely on experience.

Due to the changes in our dogs behaviour, becoming territorial and showing aggression, our local vet recommended behavet. We were apprehensive about the first call as we’ve been so concerned about how different our dog has become. After the call with Dr Cindy, we feel more confident that she can help. It really opened our eyes to the things we discussed and now more open to signs after we answered her questions before giving us a plan. The plan that we’ve had personalised to us, is not unrealistic either and is manageable. We really recommend behavet and feeling more confident that they will be able to assist us and our fur baby for the future.

Very professional, efficient and friendly

We had our first consultation yesterday as my puppy suffers from separation anxiety. Our consultation went really well and opened our eyes into why our puppy acts the way she does. There is ongoing email support between consultations which i think is really helpful. We have a great plan in place and looking forward to seeing how things progress.

I signed up for a consultation and then was asked to complete a form including ticking the box for agreeing to T&Cs.
The terms and conditions state the consultation fees. I was stunned to read that the first consultation is £635 and subsequent sessions £435.
I acknowledge that I peronally would only pay £25 and the rest would be paid by my insurance company. However, if our insurance companies are paying out this kind of money then this must surely impact on the costs of all of our insurance even if not directly.
I do not understand how any vet or animal behaviourist can in good faith charge such a high fee.
Our contact directly with vets treating our animals does not cost half of that and they have clinics to maintain.
Whilst the practitioners may be very good as stated in other reviews I cannot bring myself to burden animal owners with this kind of burden being added to all owners' insurance premiums.

Really amazing after consultation seen an improvement the next day with our puppy
