Down the rabbit hole…
Why not plan a mad hatter tea party?
“The Trust aims to improve the health and well-being of dogs, cats, and other popular household pets and over the past five years has put nearly £900,000 into this cause,” says Cherry Bushell, RCVS Trust Director. “As a small charity we do rely on our supporters – and National Pet Month is a good opportunity to raise money and have fun.”
Why Alice in Wonderland as a theme? “The Trust supports curiosity and a sense of wonder,” says Cherry. “So we came up with the Alice in Wonderland idea – which is topical and also has lots of scope for fundraising and publicity.”
If you’d enjoy hosting a Mad Hatter’s tea party – or raffling off the Queen of Heart’s tarts – then why not register with National Pet Month and take part. Further information and a free events pack can be obtained from www.nationalpetmonth.org.uk.



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.
