Referral services we offer

Rutland House Referrals offer a range of veterinary referral services, including:

At Rutland House and associated practices, we do not condone the use of prong or electric collars.

We therefore ask that clients do not bring their pets to any of our surgeries wearing one, as this will lead to refusal to perform a consultation, unless emergency treatment is deemed necessary.

Electric collars are banned in Wales, but unfortunately are currently not prohibited in England yet. We believe these have an adverse effect on a dog’s behaviour and training, and a negative effect on the dog’s welfare. If you are concerned about your dog’s behaviour, please discuss this with us before your appointment.

We are very happy to discuss behavioural referral or positive reinforcement methods of training.
