PetSavers launches new website
The PetSavers stand
BSAVA's charity introduces new website at Congress

This year's BSAVA Congress sees the launch of a new website for PetSavers, the charity of the BSAVA.

PetSavers, exhibiting in the balcony at the NIA in Birmingham as part of 2012's record-breaking World Congress, has made the change in the hope that it will inspire pet owners and members of the profession to support its important work.

When PetSavers decided they needed a fresh approach to fundraising, they re-invented their image and worked closely with the BSAVA team to re-invent their charity's identity.

Phillip Lhermette, PetSavers' chairman, explained: "PetSavers has re-launched with a new logo and a new enthusiasm to raise its profile
both within the profession and beyond. The new logo is more modern but retains elements of the old identity so it should be recognisable to our supporters.Our new website supports this new image and is aimed at the general public. It is much more informative and full of interesting and useful information that really gives our charity the fresh approach that it needs."

The new website can be found here.

For more information about PetSavers, find them on the balcony of the NIA.

Bluetongue low vector period ends

In an update to its bluetongue guidance, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has announced that the seasonal low vector period for the disease has ended.

With winter over, Defra is planning for a possible increase in cases as midges become more active. It has warned that farms along the east coast of England from Norfolk to Kent, and along the south coast from Kent to Devon, are at highest risk from infected midges blown over from northern Europe.

Since the virus was detected in England in November 2023, there have been 126 confirmed cases. The most recent case to be confirmed was on 1 March 2024.

Farmers are asked to continue to frequently monitor their livestock and ensure their animals and land are registered with the Animal and Plant Health Agency.
