Pet Armed Forces
A heartwarming initiative training pets for search and rescue, therapy, and support roles in communities.
Our dedicated team at The Brambles has been working closely with the Armed Forces for over 30 years, initially with RAF Innsworth and now with Imjin. Whilst animals are still animals, whoever owns them, we realise there are a few particular differences in owning a pet whilst serving as a member of the Armed Forces.
The most obvious situation that can cause unique challenges, particularly with a multi-national force, is import and export of pets. We have many years of experience in this matter and are always willing to give advice. We regularly deal with routine travel to Europe. We have experience of arranging exports to all parts of the world and are registered with DEFRA as Official Veterinarians.
We also understand that, from time to time, family members may be away for extended periods, and we try to accommodate any problems this may cause. We can make direct insurance claims in situations where major investigation or surgery is necessary.
We are open 7 days a week and have full medical and surgical facilities on-site in Churchdown and generous free parking.
Registration is free and can be completed online without fuss to enable us to help you without delay should the need arise.
We offer a 10% Armed Forces discount off routine surgery and preventive treatments — just ask at Reception and they will register you for the automatic discount.
