FAB Clinicians believe that clinical animal behaviourists should be highly qualified, highly experienced and work to the highest ethical standards, following up-to-date scientific techniques. This means all of our Certificated Members are independently accredited in each of the species they primarily work with, but they may be preparing for accreditation in other species.  Clinical cases are only ever taken on veterinary referral.  In the UK we conform to the regulatory standards set by the umbrella body, the Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC) and the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).

Currently in the UK the only route to external, independent accreditation is through the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour’s CCAB (Certificated Clinical Animal Behaviourist) scheme.  We also welcome Veterinary Behaviourists from around the world as FAB Clinicians Certificated Members if they are recognised as specialists in their field by at least one of the following independent bodies:

• European College of Animal Welfare and Behavioural Medicine;
• American College of Veterinary Behaviourists;
• ANZCVS Veterinary Behaviour Chapter.
• Colegio Veterinario Latinoamericano de Bienestar Animal y Medicina del Comportamiento

For members of the public and referring veterinary staff seeking high quality behaviour advice, FAB Clinicians have created the list below of our Certificated Members.  It shows the location of each of our members available to take on cases from the public.​
