PDSA invites views of vets and nurses
The PDSA is inviting all those working in the veterinary profession to share their thoughts on the issues facing UK pets, and their views on how to make improvements.
The survey forms part of the PDSA Animal Well-being (PAW) report, and is aimed at helping the charity monitor changes in owner behaviour, and gather opinions from the profession in order to inform future planning.
Issues covered in the survey include online pet sales, pet obesity and children and pets. Last year, 500 vets and vet nurses shared their views, and this year the charity has opened up the survey to the veterinary profession as a whole.
"The views of the profession are vital in building a full picture of the state of our pet nation," said Nicola Martin, head of pet health and welfare at PDSA.
"The more responses we get, the better idea we will have of the issues that really concern you the most. Tell us what you think, and how you want to improve pet wellbeing."
This year's survey can be found on the charity's website, and on average takes 15 minutes to complete. Click here to complete the survey.
Companies marketing medicines for small pets exempt from authorisation must submit their annual return to the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) by 30 November 2026.
