Every moment matters at PDSA – our 49 Pet Hospitals are a lifeline for countless animal companions.
Each year, we see over 90,000 pets with emergency conditions, at an average of 249 per day. But to put it bluntly, we’re struggling right now, and raising the funds required to treat pets in desperate need is harder than ever.
That’s why we’ve launched our Critical Care Appeal this summer. With help from generous supporters like you, we can continue to be there for pets like Charlie, Ziggy and Shadow.
And it’s only due to our kind supporters that we can continue to ensure poorly pets receive the emergency treatment they critically need.
Together, we can ensure that sick or injured pets in desperate need get the treatment they require, keeping people and their pets together. Every donation you give goes towards saving pets’ lives and gives owners more time with their best friends.
We urgently need your support. Will you save a pet’s life today with a donation?
