Take your dog to work day
The countdown to this year's event on Wednesday 17  September is now on. This year we are encouraging people to teach their dogs what we call the Blue Cross 'petiquette' through some simple video clip commands. 

Visit the Take your dog to work day website where you can view video clips on how to teach your dog new tricks, listen to the petcast and register for the event.

Animal lovers flock to new social network for pets

New CEO takes the reins at The Blue Cross
The Blue Cross has welcomed a new chief executive, Kim Hamilton, following the retirement of John Rutter after seven years at the helm. 

Our current appeals
