Terms & Conditions and Legislation
By booking an appointment with Sophie Foxwell Veterinary Physiotherapy, you agree to the
following Terms and Conditions:
1. Veterinary Collaboration
In accordance with the Veterinary Surgeons Act, if your animal has any diagnosed condition
or is currently under veterinary care for any condition, I will require a veterinary consent form
completed by your veterinarian before beginning physiotherapy. Owners must inform me
prior to the session if their horse or dog has any such conditions.
As a veterinary physiotherapist, I work alongside your veterinarian to provide the best
possible care for your horse or dog. If, during my assessment, I identify a condition that I
believe requires veterinary attention, I will request that you consult with your veterinarian
before proceeding with physiotherapy.
2. Cancellation Policy
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, the following charges will apply:
• 72 hours before the appointment: 20% of the session fee will be charged.
• 48 hours before the appointment: 50% of the session fee will be charged.
• 24 hours before the appointment: 100% of the session fee will be charged.
• No-show: 100% of the session fee will be charged.
3. Payment Terms
Payment options include:
• Cash on the day of the appointment.
• Invoice sent after the session, payable within 24 hours of receipt.
Failure to complete payment within 7 days may result in additional charges:
• A 5% fee will be added to overdue invoices every 7 days until payment is
received.
4. Use of Images and Videos
During physiotherapy sessions, I may take images or videos of your horse/dog for use on my
social media accounts. If you prefer that images or videos of
your animal are not used, please inform me.
6. Liability & Owner Responsibility
• Owners must ensure their horse or dog is safely restrained and handled during
appointments.
• While I take every precaution to ensure a safe and professional service, the owner
accepts full responsibility for their animal's behaviour during the session.
7. Data Protection & Confidentiality
• Any information shared during consultations is treated as confidential and will not be
shared with third parties, except with your veterinarian, if required, for the care of
your horse/dog.
• Your personal details will not be shared without your explicit consent.
8. Privacy Policy

and users across all aspects of the business
