Britain’s Next Dog Model 2011

Britain’s Next Dog Model 2011, coordinated by Mikki, has reached its final and is excited to announce the winner is ‘Scout’ – a beautiful four year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel from Buckinghamshire!

Britain’s Next Dog Model 2011 went live on 23 April to coincide with National Grooming Week and National Pet Month. All entries were co-ordinated via Mikki’s Facebook page.  The 10 Semi-Finalists were chosen by Facebook users from over 400 contestants with thousands of votes cast. The three Finalists were then selected in a final stage of public voting which closed on June 24, 2011. The three Finalists were:
 
Scout – King Charles Spaniel from Buckinghamshire
Willow – Golden Retriever from Kent
Ralphy - Black and Silver Miniature Schnauzer from Swansea
 
The panel of judges, including award-winning groomer Alison Rogers, Mikki Brand Manager Anh Nguyen, and representatives from The Blue Cross and competition sponsor PetPlanet.co.uk, selected the winner and Britain’s Next Dog Model 2011 following careful consideration of all votes.
 
As well as the prestige of becoming Britain’s Next Dog Model 2011, Scout and his owner will be treated to an exclusive pet and owner photoshoot session, and the dog will become the face of Mikki advertising for a year.

Practices urged to audit neutering data

News Story 1
 RCVS Knowledge has called on vet practices to audit their post-operative neutering outcomes.

It follows the release of the 2024 NASAN benchmarking report, which collates data from neutering procedures performed on dogs, cats and rabbits.

The benchmarking report enables practices in the UK and Ireland to compare their post-operative outcomes to the national average. This includes the rate of patients lost to follow-up, which in 2024 increased to 23 per cent.

Anyone from the practice can submit the data using a free template. The deadline for next report is February 2026.

Visit the RCVS Knowledge website to complete an audit.

RCVS pays tribute to well-loved equine vet

The RCVS and the Riding Establishments Subcommittee has paid tribute to well-loved veterinary surgeon and riding establishment inspector, Rebecca Hamilton-Fletcher MRCVS.

Linda Belton MRCVS, RCVS President, said: "I, along with my colleagues on the RESC, RCVS Council, RCVS Standards Committee, as well as RCVS staff, was very saddened to hear of the sudden death of Rebecca, or Becca as we knew her, last week.

"She was a true advocate for equine welfare and in her many years on the RESC worked to continually improve the quality and consistency of riding establishment inspections, all in the interests of enhanced horse welfare and rider safety."
