Firstly, our position is that we are going to HELP our clients deal with the new legislation in every way that we can. We will SUPPORT our clients in their decision making, whatever the outcome may be. We shall NOT JUDGE our clients’ decisions, and we shall not make this situation any more difficult and tragic for them than it already is by refusing euthanasia if that is their decision.
Secondly, attempts to vilify vets who are willing to euthanise XL Bullies in this situation are incredibly damaging – to the vets, to the practices, to the clients, and to the dogs. There seems to be a belief that if all vets refuse to euthanise XL Bullies, that the law will go away and that the dogs in question will happily live on. That could not be further from the reality.
There is no good outcome for the XL Bullies now, not in any scenario. Veterinary Teams and Veterinary Practices did NOT cause or promote any of this. Indeed, a number of our staff have owned or have rehomed the XL Bully type dogs so fully understand that they can be fabulous pets.
So PLEASE, think about this before you start or join anti-vet campaigns. We are all doing the best we can in a horrible situation that is not of our doing. If you want to help, then share this information. Donate to charities or rescues trying to obtain exemptions for XL Bullies in their care. Donate to people in your community who might struggle to afford to comply with the new rules. Write to your local MP about your disagreement with the legislation.

“Best vets in Wrexham. Always helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Friendly staff that go out of their way to not only care for your pet, but also to keep the pets carer fully informed every step of the way. They have always looked after and treated my 2 yorkies Lulu and Pebbles amazingly, they saved Lulu’s life, words can never describe how grateful I am to them. I Would recommend this veterinary practice to everyone and anyone.”
