If you're having a clear out or finishing the last of your spring clean, why not bring your unwanted items to your local PDSA. We would be very happy to take them off your hands and you would be doing your bit to help sick/injured pets across the UK.

You can donate through the front door and park right outside before 10am, alternatively you can use the car park to the rear of the store 9am-5pm Monday to Saturday.

Why not make your donation go further and become a Gift Aid Donor. Where every £1 raised from your donations generates an extra 25p.

Best funny memes of The Day! 🐈‍⬛🥰🐾

George, the brave Jack Russell Terrier who saved five children from a vicious attack by two pit bulls in Manaia, New Zealand. Despite being much smaller than the attacking dogs, George courageously defended the children, barking and rushing at the pit bulls to protect them. He was so severely mauled in the fight that a veterinarian had to put him down due to the extent of his injuries. George's bravery didn't go unnoticed. The New Zealand Society for the Protection of Animals awarded him a bravery medal, and he was also awarded the PDSA Gold Medal by the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals. This medal is considered the animal equivalent of the George Cross, a testament to George's extraordinary act of bravery. They also erected this monument.

THE SPRING DUCK RACE IS COMING 🦆

We’re looking forward to our spring duck race on Saturday 18th May.

This amazing spectacle is lots of fun and helps to raise funds for the dogs in our care.
1,000 yellow toy ducks wind their way down the river in Abergavenny, with the first to cross the line winning £100.

Thanks to our intrepid volunteers, every duck is caught in a net at the end of the race to ensure they travel no further.

Each duck costs £1 and your duck number is emailed out before the race.

We’d love you to join the event in person, to cheer on your duck, or you can join live on Facebook on the day.

To sponsor a duck, head to our website where you can also find out about joining us on the day.

🐕‍🦺🐾FLEXI LEADS🐾🐕‍🦺

We want to use this post as an opportunity to talk about Flexi leads and the use of them. So we’ll start off by saying we are NOT anti flexi lead so don’t go coming for us in the comments.

Today whilst enjoying a stroll down to Penarth pier we witnessed a beautiful staffy being walked on a flexi next to the road. There is nothing inherently wrong with that but what we witnessed was wrong. The dog was being allowed full extension of the flexi lead next to a busy road. The dog also walked on to the road on a blind bend. Thankfully there were no cars coming but this situation could have been potentially fatal for the dog. This is not the first time we have witnessed something like this, in fact we see flexi leads being used inappropriately on almost a daily basis.

So here are our tips on the safe appropriate use of flexi leads 👇

🐶 If you use a flexi ensure you use the flat tape type not a cord type. The cord leads can lead to painful friction burns on your hands if you need to real the dog in quickly.

🐶 NEVER let your dog walk ahead of you on a flexi lead next to a road. Keep the flexi locked in a short lead position. Better still use a regular lead next to roads.

🐶 Only allow your dog the freedom to explore on the flexi in enclosed safe spaces such as feilds and parks.

🐶 Use your flexi as a tool to safely and appropriately teach your dog recall.

🐶 Be respectful of other people, it is easy to trip over a flexi lead if a dog is given free rein to do as they wish on shared paths.

🐶 Keep an eye out if anyone approaches you and your doggo, people can easily cut the lead and take your furbaby

Remember, be safe and be respectful ☺️
