Financial Assistance
We understand that professional behavior consulting services are an investment. We work diligently to maintain the highest standard of care for every client and dog, investing in continuing education, research, and keeping our client base small to provide personalized attention. However, we also recognize that financial considerations can be a challenge.
We are committed to finding solutions that make our services accessible while preserving the quality and depth of care we provide. Here are some options we offer to help offset costs:
1. Pet Insurance
Did you know that some pet insurance providers will cover behavioral therapy if prescribed by a veterinarian? If this is an option for you, we will gladly provide the necessary documentation and detailed invoices to assist with reimbursement. Be sure to check with your provider to understand their requirements and coverage options.
2. Payment Plans with Affirm
We can recommend third-party services like Affirm, which allow you to break the cost of a service package into manageable monthly payments. Affirm does not require a hard credit check and won’t impact your credit score unless a payment is missed. While this option involves additional fees, they are spread over time to minimize financial strain. Please note that we are not involved in the terms or fees set by Affirm and encourage you to review their policies carefully.
3. Mutual Aid: Pay-What-You-Can
We believe that financial barriers should not prevent anyone from accessing the help they need. Our mutual aid model operates on a pay-what-you-can basis. This is not charity—it's about creating an equitable exchange that values the contributions of every guardian. Our mutual aid model reflects our belief that everyone deserves access to resources, and we trust our clients to contribute what is feasible for them.
We’re happy to discuss creative solutions like bartering or trading services or goods. If you have something to offer in exchange, let us know, and we’ll work together to find a fair arrangement.
Why Accessibility Matters to Us

We believe that collaboration and community are key to creating lasting change, and cost should never be a barrier to receiving compassionate, expert care. Whether it’s through traditional payment methods, flexible options, or alternative arrangements, we are here to support you.
Let’s work together to find a solution that fits your needs. If you have questions or ideas, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help.
