Ethics more important than looks
According to a recent survey, ethics are more important than looks when it comes to impressing women.

In fact, over two thirds of the nations single women (67 per cent) states that the ethical stance of a romantic partner is more important than their looks. Men however, flag behind a little, with just 52 per cent agreeing that ethics are more important than looks.

The RSPCA is using this data to encourage diners on Valentine’s Day to choose an ethical restaurant. In fact, a significant number of people – one in five (22 per cent) of all those surveyed by YouGov – would be more impressed if they were invited to a restaurant such as one offering higher welfare ingredients on Valentine’s Day than if they were invited to one that was not.
The RSPCA’s ‘restaurant finder’ (available at www.freedomfood.co.uk/simplyask) enables users to find the restaurants near to their towns with high welfare credentials.

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.
