Bringing a Little Christmas Joy

Vetoquinol Territory Manager, Stuart Phillips, is collecting toys for disadvantaged children in the Oxford area this Christmas.

“My parents’ village church has distributed toys at Christmas for several years,” explains Stuart, “and I have got involved over the past few years.” The toys are delivered to various places including as safe houses for battered wives, where the mums can’t get out to shop for their children. “I really hate to think of children waking up to nothing on Christmas morning,” says Stuart. “So this year I thought I would spread the net wider and ask people at work if they had anything they could spare which will make a huge difference to some less fortunate children.”

Stuart will be collecting the donations from Vetoquinol’s Head Office in Buckingham and distributing them during the week before Christmas.

FAB

Clavaseptin® Palatable Tablets receive a FAB ‘Easy to Give’ Award

Vetoquinol is delighted to announce that Clavaseptin® Palatable Tablets, its amoxicillin/clavulanic acid antibiotic, has received a FAB ‘Easy to Give’ award.

The Feline Advisory Bureau (FAB) is a charity dedicated to the health and welfare of cats, of which the European Society of Feline Medicine (ESFM) is a division. The ‘Easy to Give’ award rewards drug companies whose products are easier to give to cats, making life better for vets, owners and feline patients alike. Products nominated for the award are assessed by the FAB feline expert panel consisting of FAB lecturers and residents past and present. The ‘Easy to Give’ awards were first presented in 2005 and are now sought after by veterinary pharmaceutical companies who think carefully how they might improve their products to make them easier to give to cats.

We know that Clavaseptin® is a highly palatable product and are delighted that specialist vets, practising vets and, of course, cats agree with us, comments Russell Roan, Vetoquinol’s Veterinary Services Manager UK and Ireland.

The award was presented to Richard Irvine MRCVS, of Vetoquinol’s Veterinary Services Team in the UK and Ireland, by FAB Chairman, Dr Andy Sparkes and Claire Bessant, FAB Chief Executive, at the ESFM Congress in Dubrovnik in June 2009.

Clavaseptin® Palatable Tablets are only the 5th tablet to be given the award and the only amoxicillin/clavulanic acid product to have been awarded the ‘Easy To Give’ logo.
