British Veterinary Association
The British Veterinary Association (BVA) represents the UK’s veterinary profession and plays an influential role in shaping policy, practice standards, and public messaging that affect the broader petcare sector. Pet Gazette reports on BVA statements, campaigns, and consultations that intersect with pet retail — particularly around health products, parasite treatments, nutrition guidance, and animal welfare. We also cover the BVA’s stance on regulatory issues, veterinary shortages, and collaborations with government or trade bodies. This tag helps retailers, suppliers, and distributors stay aligned with the professional and ethical framework guiding UK veterinary care.
