Leading veterinary charity, PDSA, was founded in 1917 by animal welfare pioneer, Maria Dickin. The charity exists to care for the sick and injured pets of people in need and to promote responsible treatments, such as vaccinations, neutering and microchipping. This is funded entirely by the generosity and goodwill of the public, mainly through gifts in wills, donations and trading.

Acting as a checklist, the PIP will guide owners on what to look
for in a new puppy and help them to check that a puppy has been raised
in a suitable living environment. The Puppy Contract is a legal document
that will be signed by both buyer and seller to confirm that the puppy
has received the specified standards of care and necessary health
screening. Both are freely accessible online at www.puppycontract.org.uk
To help prospective pet owners choose the right pet for their
lifestyle and circumstances PDSA has a freely accessible online tool,
“Your Right Pet”, can be found at www.your-right-pet.org.uk.
Every day thousands of people give their time, energy and talents to support PDSA. Without our support, their vets and nurses simply would not be able to treat the thousands of pet patients seen every day.
