The Bella Moss Foundation was once again supported by veterinary student volunteers on its stand at Discover Dogs.
This year, hand hygiene was the theme presented by The Foundation to those that visited the stand, and Peter Purves, Foundation Vice-Patron and Marc Abraham, resident vet on the Paul O’Grady Show and kennel club veterinary advisor were there to help get the message across.

Nick Mills will be loved and remembered by all those who knew him for the many special attributes he possessed. For me, personally: Nick was the kind of vet a pet owner would want to have, the kind of friend you are lucky to be blessed with. Nick took on the role to become one of our chief advisors to the Foundation in 2006. At that time we were viewed by some people in the veterinary profession with trepidation. Nick never lost sight of my dream to save animals with early detection of MRSA. I had lost my beloved dog Bella the previous year to MRSA (human strain) and Nick could see that MRSA was an emerging problem in animals. He encouraged me in the face of adversity. Nick played an important role in helping the Foundation grow as a new charity.
The Bella Moss Foundation would like to acknowledge our deep sadness at the loss of a very good friend. Mr, Nick Mills who was an excellent vet and special man in every way, the kind of vet anyone would want to have and the kind of man who was an inspiration to anyone who he came into contact with. Our condolences go to Nick’s family and colleagues at his practice and Pet Plan Charitable Trust. Nick fought so hard in our corner and we will miss him so very much.
