Wag & Purr Pet Behaviour – Terms & Conditions

Organise A Chat

A book a chat 15 minute call option is intended to give you a chance to ask questions about my pet behaviour support options & decide if I’m a good fit to work with you. It will not be possible to give advice about your pet’s behaviour on this call. This is because I can’t give advice before assessing a pet.

Pet Behaviour Support

Consultations take place at either;

  • My office in Chedgrave, Norfolk (specific terms for this can be found below).
  • Via phone or video call.
  • As a home visit (a mileage charge will apply).

Veterinary Referral

Pet behaviour problems will not be addressed without veterinary referral. The online form your vet will need to complete can be found on the homepage of my website under ‘vet referral service’. After your support period, if I have not received an update from you, your case will be signed off and returned to the referring vet practice.

Disclosure Of Information

All information relating to your pet’s behaviour must be disclosed, for example but not limited to, fear, aggression, past problems, any bite history, health conditions etc. This is essential to ensure your case can be properly assessed.

Payment & Cancellation Policy

Payment for any service must be made on booking. You can pay via Stripe or PayPal. PayPal gives the option to split the payment into 3.

Cancellation or re-arrangement requires at least 72 working hours’ notice (working hours are classed as Monday – Friday). Subject to the reason provided, the session may be re-arranged, or refunded.

If you do not attend a session without a valid reason, the session will be lost.

All 1:1 service prices include a £15.00 admin fee. This is non-refundable and will be deducted from any refunds given.

If for any reason Wag & Purr Pet Behaviour needs to cancel or re-arrange an appointment, then a full refund will be given, via the same method of payment within 7 days, or another session will be arranged for as soon as is possible.

Home Visits

Home visits are offered within a 15 mile radius of my venue (NR14 6BS).

Please note that I always aim to arrive on time. However, if I am running more than 10 minutes late I will always aim to contact you and let you know.

Please note that parking within a reasonable walking distance is required for a home visit.

Please ensure your dog is on lead, behind a barrier, or in another room on my arrival.

Formal Behaviour Assessments For Organisations

Dogs & cats must be always kept under control when we enter premises to assess a pet. This will normally include having the pet safely in another room, or on lead initially. If it is safe to do so any introductions will then be carefully organised.

Information relating to the pet and the assessment purpose will need to be provided before the visit.

Pet Insurance Claims

I am happy to complete any paperwork required for you to submit a claim with your pet insurance provider. Please note however I do not accept direct payments from insurance companies.

If you plan to claim back my fees, I always advise confirming with your policy provider that you will be covered before commencing behaviour support.
