PetSavers project seeks owners of canine 'golden oldies'
Owners of older dogs are being urged to take part in the project.
Data gathered will help researchers build a canine ageing and wellbeing tool for use in veterinary practice.

Research organisation Petsavers, the charitable arm of the BSAVA, is appealing to owners of canine 'golden oldies' to get involved with a new citizen science project, Old Age Pets.

The project aims to help veterinary professionals and owners provide optimum care for their pets. It calls on owners to submit a photograph or video of their pet, together with a brief description of what it is like to live with and care for an older dog.

Researchers plan to use the information to build a canine ageing and wellbeing tool for use in veterinary practice. For more information about the project and to get involved, visit the PetSavers website.

Organised by the Responsible Use of Medicines Alliance Companion Animal and Equine (RUMA CA&E), the initative is supported by a range of cross-sector organisations.

Practices are encouraged to use the campaign to engage the whole practice team and raise awareness of the safe disposal of medicines with clients. Learn how your practice can get involved at rumacae.org.uk
