What does a day in the life of a farm vet look like?

From disease testing sheep & fertility testing dairy cows, to treating sick calves & meeting with farmers to discuss forage shortages, no two days are alike.

🏳️‍🌈 It was fantastic to host @bvlgbt at BVA HQ as they marked 10 years of marching at #PrideInLondon!

The day recognised the importance of maintaining visibility of the veterinary LGBTQ+ community.

“One of the biggest misconceptions about vets is that we do it for the money.”

In this video, we hear from vets talking about the reality of their work and their motivation for become vets - a love of animals and a commitment to caring for them.

It's peak grass seed season!

A trapped grass seed in your pet's ear or paws might seem like a small problem, but removing one safely takes real skill & precision.

Thankfully for Max, the Mandeville Hospital team was able to remove a seed from his ear safely.

#DidYouKnow 8 in 10 vets support greater restrictions on the sale of pet parasite medications?

In her recent evidence to @HLEnviroClimate, our Sr. VP Liz Mullineaux shared why we're calling for a risk-based approach to the use of parasiticides for cats and dogs. #GreenTeamVet
