Visit Companion Care on stand 300

Companion Care vets have been in the press a fair bit recently after they were voted one of the best 100 companies to work for in the Sunday Times, the first veterinary company to have that honour.

Exhibiting at stand 300 at BSAVA World Congress, Companion Care is running a competition for one lucky delegate to win an iPad.

They are hoping to talk to as many vets and veterinary nurses as possible during their time at Congress as their 92 practices hold plenty of opportunities, and they are clearly a highly respected company. In the last year alone, they have gained 31 new practices.

For a chance to win the iPad and talk to Companion Care, visit stand 300 in the NIA.

Germany FMD import restrictions eased

The UK government has lifted the import restrictions placed on FMD-susceptible commodities from Germany.

The decision comes after the country was recognised as foot-and-mouth disease free without vaccination on 14 May.

Imports of FMD-susceptible animals and their by-products from Germany were originally banned, after the country reported a case of FMD near Brandenburg in January. In March, the UK government permitted imports from outside of the outbreak zone.

Germany will now be able to import FMD-susceptible animals and their by-products into the UK, providing they meet other import conditions.

The decision follows rigorous technical assessment of measures in Germany. Defra says it will not hesitate respond to FMD outbreaks.
