We're delighted to highlight some of the exciting research being showcased at BVA Live by BSAVA PetSavers-funded students.

Dedicated to funding clinical research, BSAVA PetSavers supports projects that help improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease in companion animals. Clinical Research Abstracts provide an important platform for sharing new knowledge, encouraging collaboration and celebrating research excellence.

These presentations demonstrate the vital role that research plays in advancing animal health and welfare. This year the presentations range from analgesia research, canine glioma, FIV and feline cholangiocarcinomas.

We are keen to support researchers who are helping to build the evidence base behind veterinary medicine and driving improvements in animal care.

If you're attending BVA Live, be sure to visit the presentations in the Clinical Research Abstracts Theatre, and discover how BSAVA PetSavers-funded research is making a difference to the animals in our lives.

BSAVA PetSavers are at BVA Live this week. Come and see us on stand F22 where you can find out about our grants and take away a free copy of the Ageing Canine Toolkit, based on research we funded at the University of Liverpool.

We're also excited to watch our students present their PetSavers-funded research projects in the Clinical Abstracts Theatre. Sophie Haslam talks about her master's degree exploring the microbiological risks of alternative pet food diets today at 4:30pm, while our 2025 undergraduate cohort speak about their student projects tomorrow from 10am - hope you'll join them!

World Pet Memorial Day reminds us that the love we share with our pets never truly leaves us. 💙
Losing a pet can be one of the hardest experiences we face, yet pet grief is often misunderstood or difficult to talk about. Preparing for the end-of-life journey can help owners feel more informed and supported during an incredibly emotional time.

That’s why BSAVA PetSavers has created a free downloadable leaflet to guide pet owners through the “before” and “after” stages of saying goodbye, offering practical advice, reassurance, and support when it’s needed most.
If you or someone you know may benefit, download the leaflet here: bit.ly/437sPR3
