Your Breathe consultation
A calm, obligation-free consultation about your dog's breathing.
At Breathe, we understand that not every short-nosed dog has BOAS, and not every dog needs surgery.
Our airway assessment with Dr Arthur House helps establish whether BOAS is present and to what extent your dog’s breathing may be affecting their quality of life. It's an opportunity to discuss your concerns, and receive guidance about what, if any, treatment is recommended.
YOUR CONSULTATION AT A GLANCE
Approximately $250.
45-minute consultation.
An opportunity to explore your options.

What happens during your consultation?
01
We ask you questions
Understanding how your dog lives, sleeps, eats and recovers after exercise is an important part of understanding how well they breathe.
02
We grade airway function
We measure your dog's breathing before and after a three-minute trot. This is called Respiratory Function Grading (RFG).
03
We asses
Your dog will receive a comprehensive non-invasive physical examination.
04

We take time to explain your options, the potential benefits and any risks or complications. All questions are welcome.
