Decades of work in the community
We arrived in Nottingham in 1927, with a small dispensary on Longden Street. In 1933 we opened a Pet Hospital in Abbey Street, Dunkirk. In 1958 land was secured on Dunkirk Road, and PDSA drew up plans for a new, purpose-built facility. By 1986 the Pet Hospital was providing nearly 36,000 treatments; by 1994 this had increased to 41,400
Since then, we’ve helped many more poorly and injured pets, carrying out over 68,000 treatments in 2020. Over the years we’ve been able to increase the amount of animals we treat. A new, purpose-built facility will help us go from strength to strength, enabling us to help even more pets as demand for our life-saving service grows.
For today's pets and tomorrow's vets
PDSA has an important partnership with Nottingham University Vet School. The new Pet Wellbeing Centre will help to educate and train the next generation of veterinary surgeons, with final year students undergoing part of their practical training in Nottingham and Derby’s Pet Hospitals.

How we delivered a new Pet Wellbeing Centre in Manchester
The new facility in Basford, Nottingham will be very similar to our Pet Wellbeing Centre in Manchester, which opened in 2019. It featured PDSA’s first ever, dedicated ‘wellbeing’ facilities. The new clinical suite enabled us to maintain clinical standards, while improving efficiency in diagnosing and treating pets as quickly as possible. The centre also has one of the UK’s busiest pet A&E services, providing life saving care to sick and injured pets.
