Our Vision:  A world where multi-resistant bacteria are a rarity.

Our Mission: To educate, and support veterinary professionals and pet owners on the treatment and prevention of multi-resistant bacterial infections

The Bella Moss Foundation is a non profit charity which promotes prudent antimicrobial use and hygiene in human and veterinary medicine. It was set up in 2006 by Jill Moss, following the death of her dog Bella from a badly managed MRSA infection.

In 2026 the charity is celebrating its 20th year anniversary. Over the past 20 years the charity has developed as an international champion of best hygiene practice, linking patients and veterinary clients with best practice resources and access to good advice and support in keeping people and pets healthy. We have helped thousands of pets recover from infections and seen vast improvements in preventative infection control methods adopted by UK veterinary practices. See some of the pets we have helped.

Bella Moss was the first dog to die of the human strain of MRSA, but today the charity in her name offers free support and education on the management of resistant bacteria to pet owners and veterinary professionals, human healthcare workers, and pharmacists.

Our Aims:

• To save lives through infection control education and the responsible use of antibiotics in the management of resistant bacteria.
• Promote the One Health initiative by collaborating with the public, major veterinary and human health academic institutions, government departments, and leading researchers around the world.
