BSAVA launches Rover: A groundbreaking AI tool for veterinary professionals

1 October 2025

The BSAVA has today (1^st October) launched Rover, a cutting-edge AI-powered information retrieval tool designed to revolutionise how veterinary professionals access BSAVA’s trusted resources.

Rover uses advanced AI technology to respond to natural language questions, drawing exclusively from BSAVA’s trusted content. This includes their full suite of manuals and books, including the Formularies, Companion magazine, position statements and more, all seamlessly linked to their original sources in the BSAVA Library and website.

All BSAVA members will receive 25 free queries per month, with non-members receiving 5 per month. Additional query packs can be purchased with no expiry date, giving users the flexibility to use them whenever needed.

For those who want a fuller experience, Rover Unleashed gives users a subscription that enables unlimited access to Rover and full personal access to all content within the BSAVA Library. This gives users the opportunity to dive deeper into the source material behind Rover’s answers.

Ian Mellor, Head of Publications at BSAVA said: “In a fast-paced clinical environment, we know that time is precious. Rover is a fantastic leap forward in how we support our members, combining innovation with reliability. All backed by our trusted resources, we’re confident that Rover will help you to easily cut through the noise and get straight to the information that matters.”

The launch follows a successful testing phase with BSAVA members, receiving great feedback.

Testimonials include:

“Rover is a very practical and informative tool that can be used daily in clinic – including while actually in a consultation. It is the AI equivalent of talking to a colleague about a case scenario.”

“I used Rover daily to access everything from simple info on dose rates to complex diagnostic algorithms. Having a list of the sources gave me confidence and provided an easy way to read round any subject. I can’t praise Rover highly enough, the speed was amazing.”

Rover Query packs start from £20 (£10 for BSAVA members), with Rover Unleashed subscriptions available for £75 per month (£30 per month for BSAVA members). Annual subscriptions are also available.
