Shelter Program

A special offer for adopted pets from any local animal shelter or rescue organization! Whatever your pet’s past history, going home with you is a new experience — and making a successful adjustment can take time and patience.

 

Veterinary Behavior Consultants (VBC) is here to help make that adjustment as smooth as possible. When you schedule an appointment with a VBC associate within three (3) months of adoption (a copy of the adoption agreement from your shelter will be required at the time of appointment), you’ll receive a $50 discount on your initial consultation. Just mention the “Adoption Special” when scheduling your appointment (limited availability; please see this page for the latest pricing).

 

(Note: This offer applies to standard comprehensive consultations, which include a full behavioral assessment, diagnosis, and customized treatment plan. These sessions typically take 2.5–3.5 hours.)

 

We recommend pet parents come prepared to audiotape the session, as a great deal of information will be shared during the initial appointment. Reviewing the recording later can help reinforce the strategies and tools discussed.

 

If your pet is experiencing more complex, chronic, or dangerous behavior issues, follow-up sessions may be recommended. For recently adopted pets, we also offer a 5% discount on the full consult fee for additional appointments (excluding those already discounted).
