BSAVA Guide to Nutrition
Author Georgia Woods-LeeEditors: Marge Chandler and Alexander J. GermanPublication Date: October 2023Veterinary professionals are often called upon to provide guidance on appropriate nutrition for animals under their care. Since nutrition is the cornerstone of all good veterinary care it should ideally form part of the discussion with every pet owner seeking advice about their pet. As veterinary professionals, our advice to our clients should always be based on sound scientific evidence, whenever available, excellent clinical reasoning and informed risk management. Given the wealth of information available to pet owners, it is the responsibility of veterinary professionals to assist them in making decisions about what to feed their pet. As well as ensuring that minimum nutritional requirements are met, the chosen diet should ideally provide optimal nutrition. Updated in 2023, this guide now includes 4 new sections on alternative protein-based diets, plant-based diets, obesity care and restricted activity.
Written by Georgia Woods-Lee and edited by Marge Chandler and Alex J. German.
A free webinar The essential ingredients for a good nutritional recommendation is now available to provide additional support.
Last updated: August 2023. If you previously bought the full guide you should automatically have access to the new chapters.

BSAVA Lab Method Performance Verification Help Tool
Editor: BSAVA Laboratory Standards Working GroupPublication Date: May 2021Veterinary clinicians regularly use laboratory results to support decisions about their patients. Consequently, it is important to know whether the laboratory equipment they use to support diagnostic decision making is fit for that purpose. Many practices will perform some sort of quality control checks on their in-house analysers, however sometimes the ‘target range’ provided is too wide to detect clinically relevant analytical errors. Therefore, the BSAVA has developed guidelines and tools that will enable practices to optimise the quality control checks that they are already performing on their analysers. The BSAVA Lab Method Performance Verification Help Tool is accompanied by instructions for use and video guides.

BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Dermatology
Editors: Hilary A. Jackson and Rosanna MarsellaPublication Date: September 2021Skin and ear diseases represent common problems in general practice. As the response to treatment largely depends on the correct identification of the primary disease, a systematic step-by-step approach is critical. The purpose of the BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Dermatology is to be an easy-to-read resource focused on the clinically relevant aspects of dermatological diseases. In this new edition, the initial chapters review the basic structure and function of the skin and discuss a logical approach to history taking and the core investigative tests that can be performed. New to this edition is a separate chapter on skin cytology, which features many excellent images illustrating the cytology of common skin conditions that we hope will be useful to practitioners.

BSAVA/SAMSoc Guide to Responsible Use of Antibacterials: PROTECT ME
Editor: BSAVA and SAMSocPublication Date: November 2018Please note. The new version of the BSAVA/SAMSoc Guide to Responsible Use of Antibiotics: PROTECT ME is now available here.
Antibacterial use (both appropriate and inappropriate) imposes a powerful selection pressure on bacteria and is the primary driver of antibacterial resistance. Eliminating unnecessary use in people and animals is, therefore, essential to safeguard this invaluable resource. A key component in the fight against AMR is the adoption of antibacterial stewardship initiatives in both human and animal healthcare. PROTECT was first launched in 2012 as a joint initiative by SAMSoc (the Small Animal Medicine Society) and the BSAVA. BSAVA and SAMSoc have worked together to develop an updated ‘PROTECT ME’ poster and this supporting information is freely available to the veterinary profession. The appendices are designed to be used in conjunction with the poster.
PDFs of the NEW 2023 version of the PROTECT ME poster, together with the rabbit PROTECT poster, are available with the PROTECT ME chapter and BSAVA members can request printed copies for their practice. A form to support client communication where no antibiotic is required has also been developed. Printed ‘non prescription‘ pads are available from the BSAVA shop.
Updated August 2021; further update due shortly
