                                                             Welcome to our new and improved Paws & Hooves!
                                                             We’ve given our magazine a fresh new look for an
                                                             enjoyable and uplifting experience with every turn of the
                                                             page. We hope you love the new design as much as we do.

                                                             We have so many inspiring stories to share. Inside, you’ll
                                                             discover how your incredible support enabled the RVC to
                                                             give dialysis to poorly pup Marty. We’ve helped more
                                                             unusual patients too, like our cover star, Polly the penguin
                                                             who needed a CT scan. This state-of-the-art hospital
                                                             equipment funded by you, our supporters, helps animals
                                                             get the care and treatment they need. Thank you.
                                                             As we finish another academic year, we can’t help but
                                                             feel proud of the impact of our scholarships, grants and
                                                             bursaries. From empowering budding wild animal vets to
                                                             supporting veterinary nurses – these initiatives truly make
                                                             a difference to students wanting to dedicate their lives to
                                                             animals. We also share how the RVC’s pioneering animal
                                                             brain bank is helping advance neurological research and
                                                             could even help newborn human babies with brain injuries.
                                                             Back in the summer, we invited visitors to RVC Boltons Park
                                                             Farm for Open Farm Sunday. It was a glorious, hot day,

                                                             and it was a joy to see people enjoying the countryside. With
                                                             tours of our working farm, the chance to meet farm animals
                                                             (there was even a calf born that very morning!) visitors could
                                                             chat with our farmer, shepherdess, beekeeper, students, and
                                                             staff. We even held a bake sale and a milking competition,
                                                             using ‘Pint’, a specialist cow simulator funded by our
                                                             wonderful supporters, which raised over £380! Thank you
                                                             to everyone who joined us, baked for us and got involved –
                                                             we hope to see you all again next year.
                                                             Thank you once again for your amazing support.
                                                             We always love to hear from you so please share your
                                                             stories. Who knows, you and your pet may even feature
                                                             in our next issue of Paws & Hooves.
