PDSA
Here are a few facts about PDSA:
- PDSA was founded in 1917 by Maria Dickin CBE, a pioneer in animal welfare.
- PDSA provide around 1.8 million free veterinary treatments to sick and injured pets and more than 200, 000 preventative treatments a year through their PetAid hospitals. They do say prevention's better than cure.
- The average cost to PDSA of one course of treatment for a sick or injured pet is £143, although the actual cost of many treatments is far in excess of this figure.
PDSA provide free veterinary treatment for owners who can't afford to pay private vets fees.
Owners that qualify for free veterinary treatment must live in the catchment are of a PetAid hospital or practice and recieve financial help with their housing costs through Housing Benefit or Council Tax Benefit. This means 1 in 5 housholds are eligible for help from the PDSA.
How do I register for help from the PDSA?
To register for PDSA help, a person must provide proof of receipt of benefit by showing an award letter from their Council or similar documentation. In addition at PetAid hospitals confirmation of personal identification is required. Once registered, the pet owner is provided with a Client Agreement that they are asked to present each time they bring their pet for treatment.
PDSA provide free veterinary treatment for all popular pets. These include dogs and cats, as well 'small furries' such as hamsters, guineapigs and gerbils.
