Nominate now for International Canine Health Awards
A chance to recognise those improving dog health

The Kennel Club Charitable Trust (KCCT) International Canine Health Awards require nominations for an inspirational vet, scientist or vet student as soon as possible.

The new awards will be given to those who are carrying out innovative research that specifically aims to improve dog health, as well as £60,000 given by the Vernon and Shirley Hill Family Foundation, which will be split between the winners.

Nominations are needed by November 30, for the following categories: The Lifetime Achievement Award, The International Prize in Canine Health Award and The Student Inspiration Award.

The awards hope to identify and encourage visionary thinking, ambition and life-changing accomplishments. Each winner will be given a large funding programme allowing them to continue their dedication and innovation in the canine health field.

Kennel Club secretary Caroline Kisko said: "We are very pleased with the quality of nominations that we have received so far but there is still time for people to put forward further worthy contenders for consideration.

"These extremely prestigious awards will honour the hard work of vets and vet students, and through the fantastic support of Metro Bank, assist them financially too.”
