BSAVA PetSavers is a local charity, based in Quedgeley, which has been funding veterinary research for over 50 years. They fund research into the diagnosis, treatment and management of diseases affecting companion animals, supporting the future of pet health. If you're a pet owner, it's very likely that the work they have funded has had an impact on the treatment your pet has received.

Alison Selby has been a member of the fund-raising team for the last two years, having previously worked for Guide Dogs and the Marine Conservation Society. She is looking forward to sharing the ways in which BSAVA Petsavers has made a difference since 1974, during which time it has awarded grants to over 300 research projects. These cover areas as diverse as cancer, heart disease, neurological disorders, bone and joint disease, immunological conditions, gastrointestinal disorders, and skin disease.
