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.

BSAVA publishes Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice

The BSAVA has added a small animal nutrition advice booklet to its series of BSAVA guides.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice offers a resource for veterinary professionals to provide appropriate nutrition for animals. As well as maintaining the wellbeing of healthy pets, the guide explores how nutritional requirements change in times of illness and disease.

The guide is divided into five sections, which explore the importance of nutritional assessment; diet types; feeding at different life stages; feeding for specific situations; and feeding for specific diseases. Online resources are also in the BSAVA Library including client handouts and videos.

It is designed to be suitable for referencing, in-depth case planning and team training sessions.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice can be purchased online from the BSAVA store.
