Rachel Sirdefield from RSPCA Exeter has been awarded a Certificate of Higher Education in Animal Welfare and Rehabilitation by Bristol University’s School of Veterinary Sciences. After graduating as student with the highest overall mark in the programme she also received an award from natural pet supplements company, Lintbells, recognising her achievement and a prize of a £100 voucher.
Taking two years to complete, the part-time course enables students to understand dog behaviour and use rehabilitation techniques to improve the quality of life of dogs relinquished for rehoming. Rachel is looking forward to using her skills to improve the welfare of pets, helping them to integrate into normal family life and says she is absolutely thrilled to have received the award recognising her success.
Rachel received her award from Helena Tallack, Bsc, MSc – PhD scholar in Clinical Veterinary Science at the University of Bristol at the graduation ceremony in August. Helena commented, “My research investigates clinical dog behaviour and welfare so I was thrilled to present this award for a course which really empowers its students to make a difference to the quality of pets and people's lives and relationships. It attracts highly motivated individuals, making Rachel’s achievement all the more impressive. We wish all our graduates well in their future careers.”

About Lintbells
For Lintbells, every product starts with a pet in need. Based in Weston in Hertfordshire, Lintbells researches, formulates and manufacturers high quality, innovative natural supplements that aim to improve the lives of dogs, cats and horses. It’s a commitment the company takes very seriously and has resulted in products that support skin and coat condition, digestive health and joint care.
Established in 2006 by John Howie and John Davies, Lintbells has a strong focus on scientific validation of its products, working with experts such as the Royal Veterinary College and New Zealand’s Marlborough Research Centre. But it doesn’t stop with the science because helping pets is at the core of the business.
At all levels of the Lintbells’ organisation there’s a realisation that collectively, everyone has a responsibility to help keep pets healthy and happy by providing effective, high quality, pet supplements at affordable prices.
And it seems those efforts are increasingly appreciated by pets and their people. By the end of 2016, 200 million YuMOVE tablets had been sold to pet owners in more than 15 countries.
