BSAVA PetSavers’ art competition winning entries 
We had an amazing response to the PetSavers’ art competition, with entries created using a range of media types from pastels to acrylic and a whole host of companion animal species depicted, including a goldfish! Thank you to everyone who submitted an entry – they really were a delight to see and very emotive. Judging was done anonymously by BSAVA staff members who found the decision extremely difficult to make because the standard of work was so high. We are delighted to showcase the winning entries and runners-up here and to tell you a little bit more about our winners.
