This campaign has now closed
Our CDCH welfare veterinary clinic has now become a community lifeline for hundreds of low-income pet owners on means tested benefits who rely on this service for the basic health care needs of their beloved animals. Animals should not suffer because of cost.

Situation
Hundreds of pet owners may find themselves struggling to afford basic vet care for their pets for a variety of reasons - job loss, family break ups and other changes in circumstances. We want to make sure that pets get the treatment they need. We also run a help voucher and reduced fee neutering scheme, again for animals belonging to families on low incomes. Our objective is to not only help prevent unwanted litters of kittens and puppies but to educate pet owners as well.
Solution
Our clinic treats for conditions such as flea allergies and eye infections which left untreated could lead to more significant health issues. We also support pets who have more serious conditions, give access to cheaper prescriptions and help with end-of-life care.
