As dog and horse therapists, at Yorkshire Animal Therapy, we aim to work closely with your veterinary surgeon to provide optimal patient care. The therapies we offer treat a variety of conditions and complaints. It is a legal requirement (as per the Veterinary Surgeons Exemptions Order 2015 Section 19.19 that ALL therapists seek & obtain veterinary consent beforeany treatment can take place.
At Yorkshire Animal Therapy we request veterinary consent before an initial assessment, on an annual basis or when a condition changes or a new injury/ailment occurs. We try to work closely with veterinary practices to ensure our patients get the best possible outcome, we’re working within the law and we refer back to the treating veterinarian where necessary.
You can download a veterinary consent form here - we require YOU to fill this in and get your vet to sign it prior to treatment. All completed forms can be returned to us via email or in person. If you wish to give us back the form in person please take a picture of the completed & signed form and text/email it to us so we can check it prior to treatment.
