Terms and Conditions
-
The Veterinary Surgeons Act of 1966 and The Veterinary Surgery (Exemptions) Order 2015 states that anyone providing physiotherapy to an animal must be directed to do so by a veterinary surgeon. This means that a veterinary surgeon must refer or give permission for an animal to receive treatment by a veterinary physiotherapist. However, there are now some exceptions for clinically healthy animals but this will be discussed on a case-by-case basis. If a referral is needed, failure to provide this by the time of treatment will result in your animal not being seen and the appointment will be rearranged.
-
Any animal presenting with sickness, diarrhea, contagious disease or a flea/lice infestation will not be treated and the appointment will be re-arranged. If you have not given prior notification of this and the veterinary physiotherapist has already traveled to you then a £20 fee will be charged.
-
Many insurance companies will reimburse costs for Veterinary Physiotherapy, but you are advised to check your policy before booking an appointment if you are looking to claim.
-
Payment is accepted by card, cash or BACS and is payable at the time of the appointment.
-
All offers are subject to withdrawal at any time without prior notification.
-
Cancellations: If the appointment needs to be cancelled, please contact Worcester Vet Physio as soon as possible. If less than 48 hours’ notice is given, a £30 cancellation fee will be charged. Failure to attend the appointment without notice will result in a charge of the full agreed fee.
-
The right is reserved to refuse physio treatment if the animal requires veterinary attention or if the animal is considered a danger to the veterinary physiotherapist.
-
All owners must sign an Owner Consent Form prior to Veterinary Physiotherapy treatment commencing.
-
For equine clients, please ensure your horse is clean and dry ready for the appointment and that adequate shelter is provided in the event of bad weather.
-
For canine clients, please ensure your dog is clean and dry ready for the appointment and that adequate space with non-slip flooring is provided.
