Veterinary Consent

As a Canine Therapist, one of the questions I hear most is:

“Why does my dog need veterinary consent before having Canine Therapy?”

​I completely understand why it can feel like an extra step, but it’s actually there to keep your dog safe and supported.

 

Legally, any hands-on therapeutic work with animals must have approval from a vet first - this ensures your dog receives the right kind of care for their individual health needs.

​

The veterinary field has its own set of guidelines and regulations, and as a Canine Therapist it’s my responsibility and requirement to work within them.

 

By obtaining consent. I can work with your vet, share observations and make sure we’re all working toward the same goal.  Helping your dog feel comfortable, supported, and on the right path for a happy and healthy life and Your Dog feeling their very best.
