We are one of only two Veterinary Practices in the North East of England to be working in partnership with the 'The Royal Kennel Club' to offer this accredited Respiratory Function Grading Assessment service, with the aim of guiding pet owners intending to breed from their brachycephelaic dog.
If at risk dogs are identified, we will work with the primary care vet to lay out all the options.
This service is not for patients that have already been identified as being affected by BOAS, please continue to refer those patients as normal to our Soft Tissue Surgery service.
For a limited time, we will offer this service to Royal Kennel Club registered and non-registered dogs alike.
We are here to help and can take a direct appointment booking from owners &/or from your primary vet if at risk dogs have been identified.
Please view the uploaded info below for more information.
