Our impact

Donate

We have spent 50 years dedicated to funding vital research for companion animals. In this time, we’ve invested over £2.7 million in more than 300 research projects, many of which have delivered real impact for veterinary professionals and the small animals in their care.

None of it would be possible without your support and donations, and the hard work of our community of researchers, so thank you for enabling us to fund vital, clinically-relevant research. Together, we’re helping our companion animals live longer, fuller and healthier lives.

Impact reports

We compile an annual impact report of our highlights for the year, including our fundraising focus, grants awarded and other noteworthy events.

Our latest impact report for 2024 highlights how we have supported the advancement of veterinary medicine during our 50th anniversary year and over the past 10 years in areas such as antimicrobial resistance, canine epilepsy and artificial intelligence.

In 2024, we awarded eight research grants totalling £150,000, and 11 peer-reviewed papers were published from PetSavers-funded research.
Between 2014 and 2023, we awarded £1.18 million in grant funding to 117 projects. We received £615,590 from gifts in Wills, and the research we funded resulted in more than 30 peer-reviewed publications.
