Claire Woodstock, a registered veterinary nurse and dog advocate at Lida Vets, said: \u201cIt\u2019s been a fantastic team effort and <\/span>we\u2019re thrilled to have achieved our dog friendly accreditation.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Specific dog friendly measures at Lida Vets include introducing new non-slip vet beds for all of the practice\u2019s kennels and toys for the patients waiting for appointments.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, training has been provided to all team members on how to safely handle canine patients.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr Rachel Casey, Director of Strategy and Transformation at Dogs Trust, said: \u201cVeterinary care is an essential part of dogs\u2019 lives but some find visits to the vets stressful.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very pleased to collaborate with the BVBA to create the Dog Friendly Clinic scheme to help veterinary practices embed the principles of behavioural medicine into clinic life.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cVet clinics are at the forefront of recognising and preventing the development of problem behaviours in dogs, and this scheme will help them develop the skills and knowledge to optimise the wellbeing of the dogs in their care.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chris Laurence, chair of BVBA, said: \u201cEncouraging welfare-friendly treatment of dogs in veterinary practices is one of our primary objectives so every additional practice means many more dogs will benefit.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re delighted Lida Vets has joined our dog friendly community. By doing so, they are helping ensure every dog has as positive an experience as possible within their clinic.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
