Apply for a veterinarian for competitions

If you arrange certain types of competitions where animals are involved, then you are responsible for ensuring that there is a competition veterinarian present. You apply for a competition veterinarian through the County Administrative Board.

When you arrange a public competition, the presence of a competition veterinarian is often a requirement. The veterinarian's responsibility is to monitor animal welfare during the entire event. They must also inspect the animals and competition area before the competition starts.

Regulations for competitions with animals

The Swedish Board of Agriculture has information regarding which competitions require the presence of a veterinarian.
