Vet information and rules

The health and welfare of all dogs participating in FCI EO Agility 2027 are of the utmost importance. A veterinary team will be available on-site throughout the event. Details regarding the location of the veterinary station, opening hours, emergency procedures, and local veterinary services will be published closer to the event.

Dogs with a naturally bobbed tail may participate, provided that DNA testing is available for the breed and can confirm the condition. Participation is also permitted where tail docking is the result of a traumatic injury, provided that appropriate veterinary documentation can be presented.
