Helping people to understand their pets and to care for them properly has always been important to PDSA.
Here we provide you with some of the information we have collected over our long history working with people and their animals.
Responsible Pet Ownership
Choose an animal from the list on the left to find out more about the following subjects.
Choosing the right pet - remember owning a pet is a lifetime commitment. Choosing the right pet for you and your family is the first step towards a happy and rewarding lifetime shared with your pet.
Basics - all pets regardless of the size require food and water bowls, the correct housing and bedding and toys.
Veterinary care - Choosing the vet who will look after you and your animals is as difficult as selecting the right pet!
Home care - feeding, grooming, bathing & health checks all become a necessary way of life for you and your pet.
Pet First Aid - first thing to remember is don't panic - life-threatening emergencies need speedy action BUT don't let 'heroism' interfere with common sense.
