The School is devastated to receive the news that Professor Os Jarrett has passed following a short illness. We have lost another bright star from our Glasgow Veterinary family. He will be fondly remembered as a generous, kind, smart, humble and wickedly funny man and will be greatly missed.

Calling all dog owners!

We're currently conducting a research project at the University of Glasgow exploring how early social environments—such as staying with littermates or joining single- vs. multi-dog households—shape puppies' behaviour and stress resilience during their first year of life.
