Companion Care Vets
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.

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.
