Kennel Club and Royal Canin partner up
Scheme to educate dog owners and breeders

The Kennel Club and Royal Canin have announced a partnership which will help to educate dog owners and breeders.

The programme will include a series of Breeder Seminars throughout the year, details of which are due to be announced in May.

The partnership will also allow the Good Citizen Dog Training Scheme to broaden its audience. Funded solely by the Kennel Club for the last 20 years, it is hoped the scheme can now further promote its messages to owners.

Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club secretary, said: “The Good Citizen Dog Scheme has been growing steadily over the last 20 years and it has now become one of the Kennel Club’s major success stories with ‘grass roots’ responsible dog ownership at its heart. 

"Breeders have been taking more and more interest in the area of health and we are delighted to be working with Royal Canin to establish a platform for education on a broad range of health issues for breeders.”

According to the Kennel Club, the Breeder Symposium, which was established a number of years ago, has only been able to educate a limited number of breeders on the issues surrounding health, science and dog breeding.

By collaborating with Royal Canin, many more breeders across the UK will be able to receive support in these areas.

Gary Gray from Royal Canin said: “We are delighted to be involved in this programme of education. It fits with our long established programme of activities to support dog owners and breeders.”

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.
