Merseyside Police signs up all police dogs

All of the police dogs in the Merseyside Police Dog Section have been signed up to the Veterinary Tissue Bank in the hope that bone and soft tissue samples can be used to facilitate potentially life-saving treatment in injured pets.

Commenting, Head of the Merseyside Police Dog Section Inspector Matthew Boyle said "Our officers enjoy a very close bond with their dogs and place great emphasis on the quality of life that these dogs experience. The entire section is behind this initiative, understanding that their dog will go on to give new life to a canine patient in need."

The Veterinary Tissue Bank is urging pet owners to register their pets as donors too. Also commenting, the VTB's Dr Peter Myint said "We hope owners will find comfort at their time of bereavement from the knowledge that they are able to help another pet in need through their gift of tissue donation."

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
