Animal welfare doesn’t start when the cameras roll – and it doesn’t stop until the animal leaves set.
Working with animals on a production comes with responsibilities, which is why Animal Direction offers a professional Vet on Set service alongside our animal casting and handling expertise.
Pictured are Rachel Bean, Head of Animal Welfare at Vet On Set, and Chris Geddes, one of our on-set vets – part of the experienced team providing professional animal welfare support to productions.
Having veterinary expertise available on set provides additional reassurance, helping to ensure the health, safety and welfare of animal performers are considered throughout filming.
From assessing the environment and monitoring an animal’s wellbeing, to advising the production team where needed, our Vet on Set service helps ensure animals receive the right support throughout their time on set.
It’s all part of our welfare-first approach to working with animals across TV, film, commercials, photography and live productions.
If you’re planning a production involving animals and would like to talk through the support you might need, give our team a call on 07583 341 362 or 07340 476 798, or email [email protected].
