day worker 296 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Anybody use the pdsa? Just wondering if they were any good? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rake aboot 4,936 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 The best. Don`t abuse it though (not that I`m saying you would you understand), they are for people in need of a vet that can`t afford one. They are usually connected in some way to a university. I think a few vets train at PDSA centres. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think it's a lot with the rspca Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2.8 guy 403 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 The pdsa is a great charity for those that need it and its a shame that it gets abused like it does by people who just dont want the associated costs of having pets or working animals I think its a great idea to be able to get medical care for animals when you wouldnt otherwise be able to afford, anything that provides animal welfare is a winner in my book. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trigger2 3,198 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 i had to use them once years ago had to have alot of treatment on a lurcher bitch years ago. i had never herd of them until my vet told me about them i was glad of the financial help at the time they never batted a eyelid and helped out straight away. they are very good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lenmcharristar 10,006 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 It would be nice if they genuinely helped out working men, without judging them, that's until they get infiltrated then sting everyone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
