*alison in about to disagree with Helen shocker* :lol:
I can think of one practice which is RCVS accredited that I wouldn't take an animal into if I was standing outside it and you were paying me to go there. So while in theory it provides a reassuring benchmark, I'm not convinced that it actually makes much difference in practice.
I'd also mention that 'small animal' accreditation really means cat and dog, not rabbit; so there's no guarantee that the vets at an accredited practice are any good with bunnies.
Personally I'd be more interested in their answers to a range of species specific questions, their general setup and my gut reaction to those vets, rather than whether or not they are RCVS accredited.
