Leading veterinary charity PDSA exists to care for the pets of people in need by providing free veterinary services to their sick and injured animals and promoting responsible pet ownership. We believe all pets should receive veterinary care and attention when they need it and should be protected from suffering, injury and disease.

Established by animal welfare pioneer, Maria Dickin CBE in 1917, PDSA now cares for more than 350,000 pet patients; animals treated at our 47 PetAid hospitals when they are sick, injured or in need of preventive care and animals registered for PDSA-funded treatment at more than 350 PetAid practices UK-wide.

Our website www.pdsa.org.uk provides details of our charitable services, access to veterinary advice, information on our animal bravery awards programme and, of course, suggestions as to the many ways you can fundraise for, or otherwise support our charity for pets in need of vets.
