100 Dogs + 12 Hours + 33 Miles = £1,000 for Dogs Trust
James Hewitt as managed to raise over £1,000 already.
Sadberge dog lover James Hewitt has raised over £1,000 yesterday for his local Dogs Trust rehoming centre by going for the ultimate walkies.

Sadberge dog lover James Hewitt has raised over £1,000 yesterday for his local Dogs Trust rehoming centre by going for the ultimate walkies.

In just 12 hours he took an incredible 107 resident rescue dogs for a one-on-one walk around the rehoming centre’s fields, covering a distance 53km (33 miles) in just one day.
 
26 year old James, who works as a Veterinary Nurse Assistant at Dogs Trust Darlington, was presented with a cheque for £500 by Councillor Jim Ruck, Mayor of Darlington, who rehomed a Lurcher from the centre three years ago.
 
James Hewitt says: ''My sponsored walk was a great challenge but I had lots of fun and even the occasional bouts of rain didn't put me off my stride. Thanks to the generous people who supported my challenge I have already raised over £1000 for Dogs Trust!”
 
It is still possible to make a donation to the challenge by visiting www.justgiving.com/James-Hewitt.

New form for online veterinary medicines retailers

The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) has produced a new online form for retailers wishing to sell veterinary medicines on the internet.

The form replace the previous Word version and is part of the VMD's ongoing commitment to digitise its processes. Anyone retailing prescription medicines online, including POM-V, POM-VPS and NFA-VPS categories, is lawfully required to register with the VMD before trading.

The change only applies to new applicants. Retailers already listed on the VMD's Register of Online Retailers or registered under the Accredited Internet Retailer Scheme (AIRS) do not need to do anything.
