THE REPLAYS

The African Pangolin Working Group (APWG) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the survival of the most highly trafficked wildlife species on the continent – the African Pangolin.

Hill’s Pet Nutrition and MSD Animal Health has partnered with the APWG to raise funds towards the costs of training and upkeep of a new Pangolin anti-poaching dog, to assist Havoc, who we already support.

You don’t have to be a conservationist to make a difference! Hill’s Pet Nutrition & MSD Animal Health will be offering fantastic free CPD with international speakers to vets and nurses and this is an ideal opportunity for the vet profession to Pay It Forward and be involved with a Social Responsibility Programme by donating to this worthy cause.

Hill’s Pet Nutrition will also match the amount raised during their webinars with the equivalent value in food, to the African Pangolin Working Group for their new anti-poaching dog.

Thanking you in advance for your support and generosity.
