1. Commitment to Accessibility
Virbac is committed to making its website, uk.virbac.com, accessible in accordance with the UK's Equality Act 2010 (which requires service providers to make "reasonable adjustments" for disabled users) and, where applicable, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) for services offered to EU consumers. We aim to ensure that our website is usable by everyone, regardless of technology or ability.
2. Compliance Status
The current version of this website is Partially Compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, which serves as the international accessibility benchmark.
- Standard Used for Audit: RGAA version 4.1.2 (based on WCAG 2.1 Level AA).
- Last Audit Date: September 2025.
- Overall Compliance Rate: 57%.
- Non-Compliant Criteria: 32 criteria were found to be non-compliant.
3. Non-Accessible Content and Barriers (The 57% Deficit)
The content listed below is non-compliant. These issues are structural defects that we are committed to fixing (see Section 5 for our plan):
| Barrier Category | Reason for Non-Compliance |
| Images and Media | Missing or inadequate alternative text: Informative and functional images lack descriptive alternative text (alt text). |
| Navigation and Interaction | Keyboard operability failures: Some interactive elements, links, and form fields are not focusable or operable when using only a keyboard. |
| Structure and Semantics | Incorrect heading structure: The hierarchy and semantics of headings (H1, H2, etc.) are sometimes broken, impairing navigation for screen reader users. |
| Links | Non-explicit link text: Some link texts (e.g., "Click here," "More") do not describe their purpose without surrounding context. |
| Forms | Missing or inadequate labels: Form fields may not have correctly associated labels, preventing screen readers from identifying the required input. |
