A word of advise PDSA - don't take on new patients if you clearly can't accommodate them.... Getting in touch with a human is impossible, appointments take about a week, waiting room times are ridiculous, waiting for medication takes forever - you need to literally block out a full day for an appointment. My advice to anyone thinking of joining, just don't bother! Pay a premium and get a better service......

The PDSA Gateshead are fantastic, I recieved treatment multiple times in 2024 for emergencies and i relied on them heavily today, they staff I spoke to were friendly and polite, it was a comfortable atmosphere. The vet was great despite my dogs reaction to being assessed. My mind was put to rest and I appreciate them more than they’ll ever know. My dog is my baby 💙

I took my Bella in to vets now out of hours because she had a pup stuck. They went above and beyond to save my girls life, if I hadn't have taken her when I did her uterus would have ruptured and I would have lost her. I'm devastated that the pup unfortunately couldn't be saved but I will be forever grateful to all of the team who were involved in the care of my Bella. Thank you so much.

Wonderful staff. Went out of their way to support me during the loss of my dog. They are so kind not only to my little dog but also great empathy towards me . My boy's ashes were brought home to me and again the kindness was very supportive. A sad process but I appreciate everything they did for me at a sad time .
