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.

Practices urged to audit neutering data

News Story 1
 RCVS Knowledge has called on vet practices to audit their post-operative neutering outcomes.

It follows the release of the 2024 NASAN benchmarking report, which collates data from neutering procedures performed on dogs, cats and rabbits.

The benchmarking report enables practices in the UK and Ireland to compare their post-operative outcomes to the national average. This includes the rate of patients lost to follow-up, which in 2024 increased to 23 per cent.

Anyone from the practice can submit the data using a free template. The deadline for next report is February 2026.

Visit the RCVS Knowledge website to complete an audit.

New guidance for antibiotic use in rabbits

New best practice guidance on the responsible use of antibiotics in rabbits has been published by the BSAVA in collaboration with the Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund (RWA&F).

The guidance is free and has been produced to help veterinary practitioners select the most appropriate antibiotic for rabbits. It covers active substance, dose and route of administration all of which are crucial factors when treating rabbits owing to the risk of enterotoxaemia.

For more information and to access the guide, visit the BSAVALibrary.
