Vettoria

Practising veterinarians working with small companion animals who hold a higher veterinary degree and have at least three years of professional experience. For the “Young Professional of the Year” category, the required experience is three to five years.

A veterinarian may nominate themselves. A candidate may also be nominated by an organisation, professional association, university or academy. In that case, the candidate must personally confirm participation and provide the required documents and consents.

An application in the “Best Veterinary Clinic” category must be submitted by the clinic director or chief veterinarian. Only one application is accepted from each clinic.

One professional may enter no more than two categories. There is no need to select “Audience Favourite”: participants in the public vote are determined after application moderation.
