Most of the time, yes. Explain the situation when you book.

What does a specialist workup include?

Depends on the issue — confirm with the clinic when you book.

I just want an initial assessment — where should I go?

Pick a well-equipped general clinic that's easy to reach.

Page summary

How to use this list

Narrow down by what actually matters for a Behavioral Medicine visit: does the clinic have the equipment you expect, do they take appointments, and is it close enough to get to on a bad day. Filter for "reachable and equipped" first, then sort by opening hours and booking method — it cuts the back-and-forth.

Before you book

Before booking a Behavioral Medicine consult, sort out a few practical things: is this an initial assessment or a follow-up on a known issue, do you have prior records or imaging you can bring, and do you need everything done in a single visit. Sorting this out up front keeps the visit smooth and the bill predictable.

When to escalate

If your pet has gone downhill fast — sudden drop in energy, sharp loss of appetite, or any other acute change — don't wait it out. Pick a clinic that can see you the same day or has 24-hour cover. If things look stable, book a regular consult ahead of time instead of walking in and queueing.
