The SMART Referral Centre is proud to be a trusted choice for the care of working dogs. These dogs have demanding roles that require strength and stamina. Our team understands the physical pressures placed on dogs that work every day, and we tailor our approach to support their performance, comfort, and long-term wellbeing.

We place a strong emphasis on preventative care, soundness, and injury management. Working dogs often face unique stresses on their joints, muscles, and overall fitness, so our focus is on keeping them healthy, mobile, and ready for the tasks they are trained to perform. From routine fitness assessments to addressing performance-related concerns, we aim to provide comprehensive, holistic, practical and straightforward veterinary support.

At SMART, we value clear communication and a collaborative approach. We work closely with handlers, carers and organisations to ensure each dog receives care that suits their workload and lifestyle. Our goal is simple: to help working dogs stay comfortable, capable, and well supported throughout their careers and beyond.
