Two decades of dog therapy
UKRCB is celebrating 20 years of success

 The UK Registry of Canine Behaviourists (UKRCB) is celebrating its 20th year of successful dog therapy.

UKRCB bases canine behaviour advisors up and down the country who use their proven records in dog training to help owners with a number of dog behavioural issues. These can include aggression, barking and nervousness, among other problems.

The organisation was founded in 1992, and offers a referral service to veterinary surgeons as well as those who own dogs. It also has a member system, where members can share their knowledge and help improve dog behavioural issues nationwide, where the number of canines has increased to over 8,000,000.

Lisa Graham of UKRCB said: 'We are delighted to be celebrating our 20 year anniversary. It's a real milestone for us and everyone interested in advancing responsible dog ownership.

'Over the past 20 years, UKRCB members have helped thousands of owners to understand their dogs and train them to integrate into the family home'.

New form for online veterinary medicines retailers

The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) has produced a new online form for retailers wishing to sell veterinary medicines on the internet.

The form replace the previous Word version and is part of the VMD's ongoing commitment to digitise its processes. Anyone retailing prescription medicines online, including POM-V, POM-VPS and NFA-VPS categories, is lawfully required to register with the VMD before trading.

The change only applies to new applicants. Retailers already listed on the VMD's Register of Online Retailers or registered under the Accredited Internet Retailer Scheme (AIRS) do not need to do anything.
