Rock Legends Support Anti-Farming Campaign
Brian May (Queen)
UK’s Rock Royalty have given their support to the anti-puppy farming campaign PUP AID by signing a unique Epiphone Casino guitar for dog charities.

Kicked off in September by Liam Gallagher, PUP AID 2010 was launched with the former Oasis front man kindly offering his support to raise awareness about puppy farming. Now a host of rock legends have followed suit by signing the one of a kind PUP AID Epiphone Casino Guitar kindly donated by Epiphone, due to be auctioned at Bonhams on December 15th.

Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Keith Richards (Rolling Stones), David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), Eric Clapton, Brian May (Queen), Mick Jones (The Clash), Roger Daltrey (The Who), Paul Weller (The Jam/Style Council) and Gary Moore (Thin Lizzy) have all added their invaluable signatures to guitar.
 
PUP AID 2010 was the brainchild of TV Vet Marc Abraham and the first-ever combined music festival and celebrity-judged dog show, held in Brighton, to raise awareness about the cruel industry of puppy farming in the UK.
 
Proceeds from the auction are going to Dogs Trust, Kennel Club Charitable Trust and Oldies Club – a small charity specialising in rehoming older unwanted dogs.

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.
