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 reaches Wales for first time in 2025

The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) has revealed that bluetongue has been confirmed in Wales for the first time in 2025.

In their latest statistics, APHA records a total of 109 cases of BTV-3 or BTV-8 in Great Britain in the 2025-2026 vector season.

The total number of BTV-3 cases in Great Britain this season is 107. This includes 103 cases within the England restricted zone and four cases in Wales.

There has also been two cases of BTV-8, which were both in Cornwall.

As a result of the cases in Wales, a Temporary Control Zone (TCZ) is enforced in Monmouthshire. Animals can move freely under general license within the England Restricted Zone, however animals with suspected bluetongue must stay on their holding.

All premises testing positive for blue tongue can be viewed on this map.
