National Pet Month celebrates from 7 April
- 7 May 'You and your pets: a winning team'
National Pet Month is
encouraging people to team up with their pets to get happy and healthy.
During the month, thousands of people are celebrating
happy times with their pets at hundreds of events up and down the country.
While many of these events will raise funds for local animal charities,
National Pet Month is not just about fund raising. It is also all about
raising awareness of how pets make people’s lives happier and healthier, and
how we can repay the pets we love by looking after them responsibly.
Details of how to join in and become a supporter are on
the National
Pet Month website or follow @NatPetMonthUK on Twitter.

National Pet Month is a charity registered number 1114880. NOAH is a
trustee, along with PFMA and Pet Care Trust.
The Pet Health Information website
features a wealth of
animal health
information and advice to help owners and potential owners to make
informed decisions about their pets’ healthcare. With a wide range of topics
including information on buying a pet, health guides, travelling abroad with
your pet and first aid, the site features information on a range of species
from dogs through to fish
Antibiotics for Animals
Animals, just like humans, can suffer from disease. Healthy animals
mean healthy food. NOAH believes it would be a rejection of our responsibility towards the
production of healthy food to deny animals access to medicines which keep them healthy.
Animals need antibiotics too.

Cats and dogs escape financial cutbacks
While it’s impossible to go through a day without hearing about new
austerity measures, pet owners who believe in preventative healthcare, it
seems, are bucking the trend, with significantly more (84%) visiting the vet
at least once a year in 2010 compared to 2007 (78%). What’s more, 44% have
increased their spend on their pets in the last year with only a very small
number (5%) decreasing it. There has also been a significant increase in the
number of dogs insured by this group since 2007, which now stands at 55%
compared to 41% in 2007.
These findings are part of a recent
Noesis survey (January 2011)
commissioned by the National Office of Animal Health (NOAH) of 1,000 pet
owners, which was originally run in 2007. The research covered both
‘preventer’ and ‘non-preventer’* pet owners and sought to understand:
awareness of preventative medicine in cats and dogs; how the decision is
made as to what areas of preventative medicine are important and which to
adopt; what types of preventative medicine are carried out and the reasons
and frequency of this behaviour as well as the sources of information.
