Why choose a BESTPRACTICE clinic?

Your livestock are your livelihood, so it makes good business sense for you to invest in a veterinary practice you can trust to be up to date with the latest in animal health services.

When you choose a BESTPRACTICE accredited clinic you can be sure of excellence in the following areas:

• Service: staff are well-presented professionals available for 24-hour emergency service, and have systems in place to meet best on-farm practice and Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) animal welfare standards.

• Training: your veterinarians are professionally trained and experienced in veterinary medicine, surgery, animal health and welfare and farm advisory services, have access to up to date materials, and are allocated time to undertake and ensure continuing professional development.

• Facilities: your veterinary clinic has modern, well-maintained facilities and equipment.

• Information: the clinic has well-organised data storage systems that ensure your animals' health records can be easily accessed and updated.

• Safety: any medication dispensed is clearly labelled and appropriately packaged, so you know exactly how and when to medicate your animals and the withholding periods that must be observed.

BESTPRACTICE standards encourage veterinary clinics to continually evaluate their surgical, medical, diagnostic and nursing protocols in order to maintain a high level of excellence.
