Inga practises primarily throughout the South East of England but can also offer consultations further afield. She offers professional advice on both cats and dogs and has been helping owners with problem pets since 1998.

Inga is the behaviour expert for Cat World magazine, for which she writes a monthly feature, as well as contributing to the ‘Ask the Experts’ pages. She is also a behaviourist for the Pet Plan Insurance magazine ‘Pet People’ and is a regular contributor to ‘Pets International’ a pet trade magazine.
