VET charity, PDSA, will be returning to Darlington with its national pet wellbeing tour next month, offering free health MOTs for dogs.
The charity’s PetCheck vehicle visited a number of locations in the area earlier this year, and is now returning to offer further expert pet care advice, free health checks and reduced cost microchipping.
Events will be held at the following locations; November 8, 10am to 5pm at Cockerton Green, November 9, 10am to 5pm at Firthmoor Community Centre, Burnside Road, November 10, 10am to 5pm at South Park Clock Tower and November 11, 9am to 4pm at North Lodge Park, Gladstone Street.
On board, PDSA vet nurse Tina Scrafton will check dogs’ eyes, ears, weight and general condition as well as running through PDSA’s PetWise MOT, which assesses each of the five welfare needs.
Additional services including nail clipping and ear cleaning are also available free of charge although donations are welcome. Microchipping, which became mandatory for dogs from April 6, is available for a small cost.
Appointments must be booked in advance by contacting 0800 9172509.
