For whom is this advice useful?

For everyone! Whether you are troubled by your pet’s behavior or simply want to understand it better.

  • Tips on general pet behavior: Is it normal for my cat to sleep so much? My dog buries things in the garden, why? My pet tolerates my loud music, but when the doorbell rings, he panics, how is this possible?
  • Advice on problematic behavior: Why does my cat urinate next to the box? Why does my dog bark at everyone who walks by? And most importantly: Can my pet unlearn this behavior?
  • Introducing a new pet: it is not easy to explain to your child what is and is not allowed when playing with a new pet. Veerle can help. Also, not all cats and dogs are ready to welcome a new pet into their home. Veerle can establish a step-by-step plan to gradually get the animals used to each other.
  • A baby on the way: Pets like predictability and routine. The arrival of a baby disrupts everything. Veerle helps you prepare your pet for the arrival of the baby so that the arrival is calm and safe.
  • How can I stop my cat from scratching the sofa? What can I do to prevent my dog from stealing food in the kitchen? How can my cat safely use the balcony? How can I make sure my pet can’t escape?
  • Pre-adoption tips: I’d like to give a shelter animal a forever home, but where do I start? How do I find the right shelter, the right animal, the right age? Together we’ll find the perfect match.
  • Personalized advice: whatever your question, Veerle will try to help you.
