Rabbit-Friendly Facilities

• We provide quiet, predator-free spaces for rabbits, using separate waiting areas or consulting rooms.
• Carriers are kept raised off the floor and covered for security.
• Hospitalised rabbits are housed away from dogs and ferrets, following RWAF recommendations.

Our vets and nurses have experience and additional training in rabbit-specific anaesthesia, analgesia, behaviour and husbandry, ensuring safe, species-appropriate care.

• We use rabbit-safe anaesthetic protocols.
