Questionnaire behavioural medicine dogs
Please complete the following questionnaire as best you can. There are a lot of questions, you don't have to answer them in detail, we will have time for that during the consultation. The main aim is that I have some information in advance and can prepare myself for you and your dog. This will also allow us to focus on the important points and not spend time collecting background information.Thank you in advance for your time!
