Sustainability and modern pet ownership

Vet Rec. 2024 May:194 Suppl 1:1-2. doi: 10.1002/vetr.4200.

Abstract

Booming pet ownership in the UK and elsewhere brings significant implications for the carbon pawprint. Yet it is unlikely people will ever stop owning pets, so how can pet ownership be made more sustainable? At BVA Live, Justine Shotton and Jen Gale will explore the role of vets in this complex area and how they can support clients in minimising the impact of their pets on the planet.
