At E&J, our commitment to animal welfare and licensing excellence is at the core of everything we do. Recently, our Head of Licensing and Inspections, Ioana Dobre, joined forces with Senior Veterinarian, Sofia Loureiro, to conduct a complex inspection visit. Together, they supported local council inspectors in assessing a premises applying for a breeder license.
Preparation: A Key to Quality Inspections
Before conducting visits, our team of experts takes meticulous steps to ensure thorough preparation. This includes:
- Reviewing breed-specific requirements.
- Consulting the British Veterinary Association (BVA) guidance.
- Understanding the latest regulatory changes and best practices in animal welfare.
These measures ensure that our veterinarians and inspectors are fully prepared to assist local councils in carrying out comprehensive and informed inspections.
Collaboration with Local Councils
During the visit, Ioana and Sofia worked closely with local council inspectors to assess the applicant’s compliance with licensing requirements. At E&J, we value collaboration and aim to provide guidance that helps both the council and the licensee achieve the highest standards of animal care.
Supporting Licensees for Success
A key part of our mission is to support licensees by providing access to practical advice and expert guidance. This helps ensure that licensed facilities not only meet regulatory requirements, but also excel in providing quality care for the animals.
At E&J, we pride ourselves on being a trusted partner for local councils and license applicants alike. Through our shared dedication to animal welfare, we strive to uphold and elevate standards across the industry, ensuring the best outcomes for animals and the people responsible for their care.
