Vets Climbing High for Dogs Trust
Kelly Smith and James Hewitt will climb Ben Nevis (1344m) in Scotland, Scafell Pike (978m) in England and Snowdon (1085m) in Wales in a 24 hour challenge taking place over 13th and 14th May.
Vet Nurse Kelly Smith explains: “I’ve never done anything like this before so I’ve been preparing for the last three months by doing circuit training, jogging, cycling and of course dog walking! It will be a huge personal achievement if I successfully complete the challenge, as well as an exciting way to raise vital money for Dogs Trust.”
Kelly and James will be joined by nine other Dogs Trust veterinary staff from across the country, including Veterinary Director Chris Laurence. Between them they aim to raise £2000 for the charity. To sponsor the team please click here.
Two independent vets have launched a podcast to help owners strengthen their bond with pets. Dr Maggie Roberts and Dr Vanessa Howie, who have worked in both veterinary practice and major charities, are keen to use their experience to enable people to give pets a better life.
