WikiVet and Mars Petcare Collaborate to Provide High-Quality Online Veterinary Resources
WikiVet and Mars Petcare have announced a collaboration that aims to improve the quality and reach of dentistry teaching materials freely available online to veterinary students, practising veterinarians and vet nurses through WikiVet’s innovative and expanding veterinary encyclopaedia. The collaboration will develop high quality training and reference materials on certain areas of preventative dental healthcare to increase awareness and complement the growing vet school curriculum in this area.

BSAVA Support
WikiVet is pleased to announce the generous donation from the British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) who have provided textbooks to support our new Challenge and outreach programs. Copies of the BSAVA Manual off Canine and Feline Dentistry will be offered to students and vetschools in the Global Challenge.

WikiVet Promotion
We have recently created a promotional flier for WikiVet as we are looking to recruit even more new students this year than ever before. We hope you will print out the flier and then be inspired to email it around to new students, distribute it as a handout or even stick it on a noticeboard.
Thank you!

WikiVet has added a selection of over 300 valuable veterinary educational links. This is probably the most comprehensive listing of its kind on the web. All the links have been been selected and reviewed by students and staff at the Royal Veterinary College in London. Each link includes a summary to indicate how these resources might be of value. 22nd August 2014
