How You can Get Help
Tufts Animal Behavior Clinic offers a variety of ways you can
get help for your pet’s behavior problems:
In-Person
Clinic Appointment
This includes a ninety-minute consultation with either Dr. Dodman
or Dr. Moon-Fanelli. You will receive a diagnosis, behavioral
explanation, prognosis, and treatment plan for your pet’s
behavior problem.
The fee ranges from $280 - $349 and includes a two-month follow-up period to help you implement the treatment strategies suggestions. For more information, please contact Ronni Tinker: 508-887-4640.
PETFAX
If you don’t have time for a clinical appointment or don’t
live near our North Grafton, Mass., facility, Tufts Behavior
Clinic offers a fax-based, remote consultation service. Dr.
Moon-Fanelli provides a behavior history form that allows you
to describe your pet’s behavior problem in detail. We
also encourage you to videotape the problem behavior if possible.
You can mail or fax the behavior history form to our clinic.
Within four to five business days of receiving your form, we
will send you a five– to 10-page document with additional
handouts describing the causes and reasons for the behavior
problem and a plan to solve it. We encourage you to share this
consultation response with your local veterinarian for assistance
in managing the problem.
The fee for PETFAX is $231 and includes a six-month period for telephone follow-up consultations. Please call Ronni Tinker (508-887-4640) for the necessary forms to initiate the consult, or visit the PETFAX website to download PETFAX forms.
VETFAX
This is a veterinarian–to–veterinarian consultation
service. You and your referring veterinarian provide a written
account of the behavior problem via behavior history forms and
mail or fax this report to Tufts’ Behavior Clinic. Dr.
Dodman and his assistant will fax or mail a three to six page
consultation response to the referring veterinarian within one
week.
For more information, please call Pat Goodhall at 508-887-4678. Your charge for this service will be determined by your local veterinarian.
