Charity Governance

What we do

PDSA is a charity. We want a lifetime of wellbeing for every pet. Every day, vets in our 48 Pet Hospitals care for sick and injured pets - saving lives, and keeping pets happy and healthy.

Treating pets is a huge part of what we do... but our work doesn't stop there. We're a leading authority on pet health and wellbeing: from raising awareness of pet obesity to surveying the state of Britain's pet nation; raising the status of animals to celebrating their contribution to our lives.

Pets are part of the family. Our four-legged friends give unconditional love and are sometimes our only companion. They don't deserve to suffer because of financial difficulty or social hardship.
