It's not for people with low income, it's only for people on specific benefits.

When I was a poor student and I needed help with veterinary care they pretty much told me to sod off!
 
The PDSA are wonderful.
I use the one in Stoke.
You must be recieving financial help with housing costs through either Housing Benefit or Council Tax Benefit to qualify.

I can't fault them. I'm sure most vets would have put hutch to sleep with his eye infection.
The PDSA, operated and he is alive and kicking today.
I took Fawn their when she ate rhubarb, and were were seen almost immeadiatley.

Hutch was neutered with a local vet last week. The PDSA do all the post op care.
They were amazing.
 
glad to here good reports about them, I am getting signed up asap....I know I cant get bunny neutered there but interesting to here they will do the aftercare
 
I wish they would do neuters. I would have felt so much better if the PDSA did Hutchley.
When he had his eye removed, I took him into the room and the vet was
Steve Leonard off the tele, that vet that does the wildlife thingies!
That's Hutchley hoo haa's claim to fame![/i]
 
I was placed at the PDSA in Bristol for six months this year, my placement ended last week. They're a wonderful charity. As mentioned above, you have to be on Housing or Council Tax benefit to qualify for their care, and you need to bring proof of it (a letter dated within the last 6 months) and proof of your signature when you go to register. They help sick or injured animals, so don't do preventative medicine, although some of the centres are now introducing low-cost neutering and vaccs.

Clipping nails is preventative, really, so I doubt they'd do it for you. We always tended to do it if the bun was in for something else.[/i]
