Dog-Friendly Clinic in Farnham

At Cathcart & Winn Veterinary Clinic & Hospital, we’re proud to be a dog-friendly accredited practice

By joining the Dog-Friendly Clinic Scheme, we have pledged to reduce canine stress within the veterinary clinic. We also understand that canine welfare is important outside the clinic so we can guide our clients on giving their dogs the best care at home.

In order to achieve our dog-friendly accreditation, we have had to meet carefully selected criteria as stipulated by Dogs Trust and the British Veterinary Behaviour Association. We have demonstrated that we:

• Understand the body language of dogs
• Can prepare for your dog's veterinary clinic visit, including travelling and what to bring
• Can give behaviour tips for the veterinary clinic visit, such as helping your dog stay calm in the waiting area and consultation room, and being less stressed and staying still during examinations and procedures
• Can advise how to find training and behavioural support
• Can teach puppies to be comfortable at the vet
