BSAVA PetSavers has been funding veterinary research for over 50 years, with more than £2.7 million in grants awarded to over 300 research projects since 1974.

We fund clinically relevant research into the diagnosis, treatment and management of diseases affecting companion animals, supporting the future of pet health. We are one of few funding bodies dedicated to the study and improvement of pet medicine and surgery, and achieve our aim by awarding grants to veterinary surgeons, nurses, and academics in universities and veterinary practices. Some of these grants support students, enabling promising early career researchers to build the skills and experience needed to become life-long researchers in veterinary science. None of the research that we fund uses experimental animals.

To date, we’ve invested in vital research in areas as diverse as cancer, heart disease, neurological disorders, bone and joint disease, immunological conditions, gastrointestinal disorders, and skin disease. We only fund research with real in-practice relevance for veterinary professionals, so every pound we invest could lead to the latest knowledge, technology and treatment approaches in the hands of vets and vet nurses.

Together we can help our pets live longer, fuller, healthier lives.
