New 'Pet Wellbeing Centre' opens in Nottingham
Danyl Johnson and senior veterinary surgeon Sarah Brown.

The PDSA practice will provide vital veterinary care for struggling pet owners.

Owners struggling to provide care for their pets in Nottingham will now be able to access vital veterinary care, thanks to the launch of a new PDSA Pet Wellbeing Centre.

The purpose-built centre was officially opened on Monday (7 November) by singer Danyl Johnson, and the charity's veterinary team, director Jan McLoughlin and deputy chairman John Miller.

Replacing the charity's old site on Dunkirk Road, The Marian and Christina Ionescu Hospital on Radford Road includes a vibrant waiting area, improved kennel facilities and eight spacious consulting rooms.

It has been designed to make visiting the vet a stress-free experience, and also features a room dedicated phone consultations, two operating theatres, diagnostic and digital x-ray facilities and a more extensive car park.

PDSA senior vet Sarah Brown said: “PDSA has been caring for pets in Nottingham since 1927, when the charity first opened a dispensary in the city. Now, nearly a century later, we’re thrilled to formally open a brand new, much-needed centre to support pets and people in need in Nottingham.

"Our services continue to be a vital lifeline for owners struggling to provide care for their pets and it’s a privilege to start this positive new chapter to help those most vulnerable in the local community."

The new hospital will also be used to train the next generation of veterinary surgeons through its links with the University of Nottingham, and includes a large, dedicated room for veterinary students. It was made possible thanks to the generous donations of PDSA supporters and members of the public.

Sarah added: “We are so grateful to every single supporter and organisation that has donated to help this fantastic new hospital become a reality."

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
