Pet guides

As part of their commitment to promote excellence in small animal practice, the BSAVA has developed a range of materials for members of the public and professionals to download and print out in aid of PetSavers. 

Hard copies of the materials are also available in exchange for a donation to PetSavers. If you are in veterinary practice and would like printed copies to give to clients, please complete the form at the bottom of the page or email us at info@petsavers.org.uk.


Client information leaflets

A range of canine-focused information leaflets have been created to offer clients extra advice after they leave the consultation room. These are downloadable only.
