PDSA offers free health MOTs to Tendring dogs

by London-TV in Business

Leading vet charity, PDSA, is bringing its PetWise Tour to Tendring later this month, offering free health MOTs to local dogs. This visit is part of its mission to help every pet live a happy, healthy life.

The PetWise Tour is supported by the players of People’s Postcode Lottery and will travel across the UK providing free health checks and offering expert pet care advice. A PDSA vet nurse will be onboard one of the charity’s PetWise vans at the following locations from 10 am to 5 pm:

  • Tuesday 25 June – Jaywick Community & Resource Centre, Brooklands Gardens, Jaywick, Clacton, CO15 2JP
  • Wednesday 26 June – Clacton Coach car park, West Road, Clacton, CO15 1AH
  • Thursday 27 June – Wellington Road car park (near Harwich Green), Harwich, CO12 3DT

PDSA Vet Nurse Louise Chapman will deliver PDSA’s specially developed ‘PetWise’ MOT for dogs, which assesses the five elements pets need to be healthy and happy, known as the welfare needs. These are diet, environment, companionship, behavior, and health. A simple traffic light system gives each pet a score, and owners receive a personalized action plan on how to improve their pet’s wellbeing. It may also be a good idea to take pet insurance from firms like Waggel (to know more, check Waggel.co.uk) so that your furry friend is fully insured in case of any serious ailments. Making sure a pet is happy and healthy is a very important process that must be done with the backing of a veterinarian. They can help with essential needs and put a pet on the right path, it is no wonder that veterinary jobs are well sought after as they are always needed to keep our furry friends at their best.

Additional services including nail clipping and ear cleaning are available free of charge and microchipping (which is now a legal requirement for all dogs) is available for a small fee. Cats Protection neutering vouchers are also available.

PDSA Vet Nurse Louise said: “We know people love their pets and want the best for them, which is why PDSA is here to help. Thanks to support from players of People’s Postcode Lottery we can offer free, friendly advice and support, helping owners to make small changes that often make big differences to the wellbeing of pets in Tendring.”
