Every donation before 31 December will be doubled.
BSAVA PetSavers, the charitable arm of the British Small Animal Veterinary Association, has launched its 2025 Christmas Appeal.
This year’s campaign invites UK animal lovers to donate towards the organisation's life-changing research into pet health.
Crucially, any donation will be matched by supporters VetPlus, Sustain Insurance Brokers and NationWide Laboratories, meaning every donation made by the public will be matched.
Alison Selby, fundraising manager for BSAVA PetSavers explained: “We are thrilled to have the support of VetPlus, Sustain Insurance Brokers and NationWide Laboratories this Christmas. Their generous match funding means that every £1 donated by the public will be doubled at no extra cost to the donor – generating twice the impact for pet health.
“The research we fund covers areas as diverse as cancer, heart disease, neurological disorders, gastrointestinal disease and many more. By supporting our Christmas Appeal, you will be helping our pets live longer, happier, healthier lives.”
Alina Zheleznyakova, head of marketing and communications at NationWide Laboratories added: “At NationWide Laboratories, we’re proud to support BSAVA PetSavers Christmas Appeal. Their commitment to advancing small animal health through clinical research and education mirrors our own values.
“By backing this initiative, we’re helping ensure that veterinary professionals have the resources they need to improve the lives of pets across the UK. It’s a chance to double the impact of every donation and make a real difference this festive season.”
Cristina Secura from Sustain Insurance Brokers concluded: "We’re proud to partner with PetSavers this Christmas. Supporting the wellbeing of pets and their owners aligns perfectly with our values, and we’re excited to help raise awareness and funds for this important cause."

Two independent vets have launched a podcast to help owners strengthen their bond with pets. Dr Maggie Roberts and Dr Vanessa Howie, who have worked in both veterinary practice and major charities, are keen to use their experience to enable people to give pets a better life.
