There are two options for horse owners with regards to joining the Scheme. - Horse businesses may register for an annual fee on a 'multi use' basis and can then use the Scheme as required throughout the year.
- Individual horse owners (or those with a small number of animals) can register for a one use fee on a 'single use' basis.
For details of how to join NFSCo, please see the "join" pages of this website. Although horse owners can join at the time an animal dies they may wish to join in advance to save having to go through the procedure for registering for the Scheme at what may be a distressing time. On registering for the Scheme, details of collectors and premises operating in their area including prices for a variety of collection and disposal services such as; - disposal only
- collection and disposal only
- putting down the animal by the collector
- collecting an animal after it has been put down by a vet
- an urgent request for attendance
- out of hours attendance
- roadside attendance
- incineration and return of ashes
On requiring the service, the owner will contact their preferred collector and make the required arrangements. Payment for services will be made to NFSCo by monthly direct debit. |
