Me and Mum met Debbie, (the owner of the Yorkies) at Crufts this year where she held a stand to bring awareness to the organisation.

They have an online petition and letters you can print off and send to your local vets, etc.

Personally, I think this is a good place to start. Media coverage and pet owners speaking up is what is going to get the attention of the vets so they scan pets as a habit and not just occassionally.
Singling out one vet isn't going to help. Education to ALL vets will.
