Ceva opens nominations for animal welfare awards

Do you know an animal welfare hero? Help your favourite pet-lovers gain the recognition they deserve in Ceva's upcoming annual awards. Ceva's 2016 Animal Welfare Awards will celebrate the achievements of inspirational people from the farming, veterinary and charity industries. Welfare heroes can be of any age and come from anywhere in the world. They can be nominated for an award by their colleagues, friends and family or by the general public. The winners will be decided by a panel of judges including Christopher Laurence MBE BVSc and James Yeates, chief veterinarian at RSPCA. This year’s winners and runners up will be honoured at a ceremony taking place at BSAVA on April 6th 2016. “We really have been awed and humbled by the nominations for Ceva’s Animal Welfare Awards over the past four years and we expect this year to be no exception”, said Ceva managing director Alan Doyle. Alan added: “The lengths to which some wonderful people go to ensure the health and happiness of animals across the world really knows no bounds. Not only do the awards champion people involved in animal welfare, but they also raise awareness of this important work to wider audiences.” 2016's categories include: Chris Laurence Vet of the Year Award - in association with the Veterinary Times Recognises a veterinary surgeon working in practice who educates pet owners and consistently demonstrates a commitment to the continued improvement of animal welfare standards.
