Animal Advice

 

IF YOUR PET GOES MISSING:

Ring all local vets – not just your own

If your pet has a microchip – ring the microchip company to let them know

Put up posters all around your local area

Ask neighbours to check out buildings and sheds etc.

Consider advertising your missing pet on ‘pets located’ here

ADVICE ON FERAL CATS:

We get many enquiries about feral cats but unfortunately we do not have the resources to deal with these. We do however work with people and other organisations who need to re-release them once neutered. If you have outbuildings and land or a farm and would be willing to take one or more HEALTHY, NEUTERED Feral or semi feral cats please contact the branch.

 

ANIMAL TREATMENT & FURTHER HELP:

The nearest PDSA hospital within our area is located at Bradford, West Yorkshire. The phone number is: 01274 740070. Further information regarding PDSA services can be found here

 

HELP WITH TREATMENT COSTS:

We receive many requests to help fund owners vet bills. Our branch is operated on a charity basis and sadly we cannot help with large vet bills. We may be able to issue a one-time only welfare voucher to cover the cost of a consultation. Please email us here for more information. We strongly advise all pet owners to take out their own pet insurance policy, you can find further details by searching online.
