DOG owners in Stockton can take advantage of free health checks for their pets next week.

The PDSA Petcheck vehicle will visit the Pets at Home store at Teesside Retail Park next Thursday to Saturday.

Health checks for dogs will take place between 10am and 5pm.

PDSA senior veterinary surgeon, Elaine Pendlebury, said: "This is our first visit to Stockton-on-Tees, and we are urging as many dog owners as possible to visit the PDSA PetCheck vehicle to help us to research pet health."

The PDSA PetCheck vehicle is travelling around Britain until the end of October.
