They were so understanding when my cat had an emergency. He was seen to within hours, and he was really calm with the vet. He received great care and treatment. The staff were very friendly. Great experience, and my cat healed within a week.

Depends on the vet. I try to understand that veterinary care as a charity is very difficult, but I haven't been happy with the standard of care at times. I am grateful that during my personal rough patch, made worse by discovering the pet insurance we have wouldn't cover this particular issue, the PDSA could help. The veterinary care wasn't gold standard, but it was affordable.

Up to now this vet has helped a lot with my dogs but this weekend they have failed my chihuahua, my poor girl got this massive lump on her neck and it speeded to her cheek in a day after she was seen by PDSA they said it was a saliva grand when it was actually a abscess I ring them and told them what happened that her lump had popped and was bleeding a lot she couldn't even put her head down she was crying in pain and everything and they wouldn't see her till they opened at 9am and when I call them at 9am they still wouldn't see her so I had to ask a family member for a loan so I could get her seen by different vet and the other vet was amazing and said that pdsa should of drained it the day before when they saw her and should of given her more medication then they did and they shouldnt off sent away with wrong medication and won't info and tell me they see me again in 2 weeks? The new vet saw her today put her on right meds and drained it and wants to see her in 48 hours so we are now on right path but pdsa have failed me and my pet on this one and now I owe my family money. As soon as at start psda been washing with my chihuahua and my jack Russell in the past but this one time they was helpless.
