pet care by attending to the physical, emotional, and environmental well
being of pets in our care.
The Pet Professional Guild Members Professional Ethics
- We always hold the pet’s welfare as our top priority. The pet is
the vulnerable component in the consultation process as they cannot
offer informed consent
- The professionals’ role is one that is beneficial to the pet and never to its detriment. Always seek to do no harm.
- Do not condone or endorse any treatment by a pet’s owner that is
physically or mentally cruel. We will opt out of a consulting agreement
rather than attempt to manage an unethical course of action.
- We only consult with clients who offer cases that we have the professional competence to deal with.
- We only use procedures, protocols and training tools that are empirically based and have a proven track record.
- We always consider communications with our clients privileged. We
will only break that confidentiality if a pet is being abused and the
client cannot be dissuaded from using their current approach. We always
act according to local and state laws in terms of reporting animal
cruelty.
- We recognize that the pets’ owner is responsible for their pet and
the owner has the right to make decisions about the professional
treatment of their pet.
- Ensure all communications are professional and based in fact. When
discussing industry practices, trends or issues, members will limit
discussion to practices and consequences, rather than the individuals
using them, thereby ensuring informed, professional and civil exchanges
that enrich members and the industry of force-free pet professionals
- Apply the following ethical principles to each situation you encounter:
- Respect for the freedom and dignity of others
- Do no harm
- Do good
- Act fairly
- Be faithful to promises made
