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.
