Veterinary nurses are the beating heart of every practice. This Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month (VNAM), we’re proud to celebrate your expertise and dedication in partnership with the BVNA.
Find out more about VNAM here, and how you can get involved this year.
Championing your impact across Companion Animal care
Across our Companion Animal therapy portfolios, veterinary nurses are central to achieving the best outcomes for patients and families.
- Osteoarthritis (OA) clinics: Nurse-led OA clinics are essential to a team-based approach—creating space to discuss treatment strategies, raise awareness of disease, and tailor long-term management. Your specialist input elevates patient care, supports owners, and highlights the undeniable value of nursing in improving quality of life for affected cats and dogs.
- Dermatology: Veterinary nurses blend clinical precision with compassionate support. You take thorough skin histories; perform and prepare diagnostics (skin scrapes, cytology, tape impressions, trichography); and ensure gentle, accurate sampling. You coach families on bathing routines, ear cleaning, and medication schedules, while tracking pruritus and lesion scores to spot flares early. Through empathetic follow-up, you help pets feel safer, owners feel supported, and adherence improve—turning long skin journeys into manageable, hopeful ones.
