We spoke to vets and clinic managers from places like Malta and as far as Australia, where we’ve got a couple of high-intent leads as well as decision-makers we sold directly to for some of our products. The London Vet Show is simply fabulous and wonderful, I’m definitely returning next year!” Amanda Neilson, Pet Cremation Services, UK

Despite being in its 14th edition, a theme for this year’s London Vet Show could be described as innovation, with four brand new features- unveiling a new groundbreaking theatre, The Modern Veterinary Practice Academy by Veterinary IT Services that delivered immersive collaborative and dynamic sessions, regarding the utilisation of technology with huge success. The New Practice Academy in collaboration with NVS Group a carefully curated initiative supporting the evolving needs of veterinary professionals with the knowledge and skills to open their independent veterinary practices saw incredible interaction.
