In summary, all veterinary practices in the UK are able to continue to operate, albeit under different conditions based on the national and/or regional restrictions in place where they are based, including any new travel restrictions.

Please read our latest key guidance on our website, which sets out specific guidance for practices in each of the four UK nations, as follows:

Flowchart (FAQ 2)
