Petplan has announced that nominations for its 2015 Veterinary Awards will open on 1st September 2014.

The awards, which are designed to recognise members of the veterinary profession who have gone 'above and beyond' in their daily roles, will be presented on 9th April 2015.

Petplan's Acting Head of Marketing, Ingrid Wakefield said: "At Petplan, we hear from our customers every day about the exceptional care veterinary staff have given to their pets. The Veterinary Awards provide an opportunity for Petplan to show their support for members of the veterinary profession who go beyond the call of duty in their role, and for pet owners across the UK to say thank you to the veterinary staff who have helped them and their pets."

Last year Petplan received more than 12,000 nominations, with every nominee receiving a certificate of recognition for their hard work.

Nominations can be made at www.petplan.co.uk/vetawards, from the start of September.
