Animal medicines - what you should know

We know medicines help protect us from disease and can help get us better when we are ill, but there are a number of myths about the medicines given to keep the UK’s farm animals healthy.

See our new briefing document to check out the following beliefs and challenge your assumptions.

 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.

NOAH's comment on changes to the Pet Travel Scheme
The National Office of Animal Health (NOAH) would like to make veterinary surgeons aware of the industry perspective on the changes to the Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) that took effect from 1 January 2012. These changes mean it is now easier for pet owners to travel abroad with their pets, while also ensuring that the UK remains rabies free.

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.
