BSAVA publishes Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice
The BSAVA has added a small animal nutrition advice booklet to its series of BSAVA guides.
The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice offers a resource for veterinary professionals to provide appropriate nutrition for animals. As well as maintaining the wellbeing of healthy pets, the guide explores how nutritional requirements change in times of illness and disease.
The guide is divided into five sections, which explore the importance of nutritional assessment; diet types; feeding at different life stages; feeding for specific situations; and feeding for specific diseases. Online resources are also in the BSAVA Library including client handouts and videos.
It is designed to be suitable for referencing, in-depth case planning and team training sessions.
The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice can be purchased online from the BSAVA store.

Zoetis UK has called on horse owners to complete a short online survey about their horse's behaviours.
The survey comes as the company collaborates with VetMetrica to develop a tool to measure health-related quality of life in horses. The tool is expected to be particularly useful for horses living with chronic conditions, such as arthritis or laminitis.
It will take approximately 15 minutes to complete the survey, which explores the relevance and clarity of each behaviour.
