Burgess Pet Care has announced that the deadline for this year’s Burgess Excel Vet Awards 2021 has been extended.

The original deadline was Friday (1 October), but this has now been extended until Friday 8 October 2021 to allow for more submissions – particularly in the categories of Rabbit Support Staff of the Year and Rabbit Awareness Week Campaign of the Year.

Popular pet

Despite their popularity as a pet, research consistently highlights a lack of awareness about the specific needs of rabbits, as well as guinea pigs.

The Burgess Excel Vet Awards have been created by Burgess Pet Care to recognise the efforts of the veterinary community who go “above and beyond” to raise awareness around the welfare needs of these wonderful animals.

The categories

  • Rabbit Vet of the Year, open to all practising UK veterinary surgeons
  • Rabbit Nurse of the Year, open to all practising veterinary nurses in the UK
  • Rabbit Friendly Veterinary Practice of the Year, open to all practices on the RWAF rabbit friendly list
  • Rabbit Awareness Week (RAW) campaign of the Year, open to all vet practices or individual staff working within the veterinary industry in the UK
  • Rabbit Support Staff of the Year, open to all staff working in UK vet practices
  • Rabbit Student of the Year, open to students in the UK who are studying veterinary, veterinary nurse or animal care and nutrition courses
  • Rabbit Friendly Charity Practice of the Year, open to all not-for-profit veterinary practices in the UK
  • Guinea Pig Friendly Veterinary Practice of the Year, open to all practices in the UK

Cash prize

One winner from each category will receive a trophy and £250 cash prize.

Nominations are live now and the winners will be announced on 11 November at the London Vet Show 2021.

Award nominations can be made via the nomination form on the dedicated Excel Vet Awards website.
