Aim of the scheme
The aim of the Dog Friendly Clinic Scheme, a collaboration between Dogs Trust and the British Veterinary Behaviour Association, is for veterinary professionals to apply dog behavioural principles to make the provision of veterinary care the most comfortable experience possible for dogs, owners, and veterinary teams alike.
