Keeping Pet Goats

The BVA Animal Welfare Foundation (BVA AWF) is pleased to launch a new leaflet on goat keeping: the latest in a series of information leaflets designed to assist pet owners. An Introduction to Goat Keeping aims to provide those new to goat keeping with basic guidance to ensure that any goats for which they are responsible remain healthy and happy. Speaking on behalf of the charity, BVA AWF Chairman and veterinary surgeon, Carl Padgett, said “Goats are curious animals that often enjoy human company and can make friendly and rewarding pets. The leaflet provides useful advice on the type of facilities you will need, where to find a pet goat and which breed to choose as well as important information on common health problems and details of current legislation relating to goat keeping.” An Introduction to Goat Keeping is now available for download from the BVA AWF website. Members of the public can request individual copies by contacting the BVA AWF directly at [email protected].
