Veterinary Consent Form

The Veterinary Surgeons Act (1966) and The Veterinary Surgeons Exemptions Order (2015), state that for physiotherapy to be undertaken on any animal, veterinary permission must be obtained from the animals treating veterinary surgeon before treatment can commence. A veterinary referral does not cost anything but it does ensure that your vet is informed and is in agreement with any additional therapies, such as veterinary physiotherapy, is being administered to your animal. Receiving consent from your veterinarian is a essential part of the legal and ethical framework that regulates the practice of veterinary physiotherapy and ensures the highest of standards of care and accountability are met for your animal.
