…to Deborah McLean Watson and The 100s Club for donating this awesome clipper set. We use these to prep animals before they're operated on by our equally awesome vets Dr Steph (right) and Dr Steph Jr. (left) 💙

…so here are some of the cheery folks at the PDSA who better the lives that brighten ours (plus a happy chap from an outreach).

Thank you to them, and to everyone who supports the PDSA.

Our friend Hayley from York High Animal Club found Meisiekind running in the street, shaking her head. She had a big bite wound in her neck and a torn ear. The owner did not have the means to help her.

Hayley brought Meisiekind and her pups to the PDSA. The PDSA’s Vanessa checked that the pups were big enough to eat on their own. They were, so Meisiekind was booked into hospital for the weekend.

Dr Stephanie stitched her wounds and sterilised her, and Hayley took her home on Monday.

Happy owner, happy dog, happy us!

This little guy had an unfortunate accident when a lead intended to keep him safe instead injured his neck. Our friend Sunyata from Project COLORS brought him into the PDSA, who stitched him up, vaccinated him and – with the owners' willing consent – sterilised him.

Meanwhile, Project COLORS helped the owners put up a fence so the little guy can run around without being restrained. As you can see, they were very happy to have him home.

A great example of everyone working together to help animals. Go team! 🐾

Pick up a bargain and support the PDSA's efforts for animals in our community – it's a win-win!

The shop is at 3 Wellington Street (near the Courtenay Street end) and it's open 9am-4pm Monday to Friday

A big BAIE DANKIE to the volunteers who run the shop, and of course to everyone who donates and shops there! 😽

Here's proud pup parents that our friend Coriza from CAT Garden Route met. The little doggy had parvovirus, which is highly contagious and, unfortunately, often fatal for puppies. But they took him to the PDSA, got him healthy and got his vaccinations, and now they're a family again!

Feel free to post a pic of your loved pet in the comments — it'll be fun to see them!

Please support our friends the York High Animal Club if you can. Animals in marginalised areas of our community rely on them and – with the PDSA's support – they are doing their best to address issues at the root: by sterilising whenever they have enough funds to do so.

𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔!
We are absolutely delighted to say that — thanks to the two fundraisers last month — the PDSA has enough to order the equipment it needs to treat cranial cruciate ligament injuries! (This is weakening or tearing of the ligaments in knee joints, which the vets unfortunately see all too often in dogs.)

Thank you very much to Ronald Lagerwall for arranging the Seven Passes run, to The Mountain Community for sponsoring refreshments at the waterpoints, and to Rose & Co. Dog Walks for hosting the Pepsi Pools hike. A community coming together achieves great things!

…to our friends Rose & Co. Dog Walks for hosting this fun fundraiser. The PDSA greatly appreciates the support of local businesses and never takes that support for granted.

We hope to publish an update on how the proceeds will be used later this week. In the meantime, have a great week, everyone!

…and we'd love every pet owner to check their cat's teeth and gums regularly.

• are the teeth loose, broken or rotten?
• are the gums red or brown?
• is your cat's breath noticeably unpleasant?

If the answer to any of these is Yes, please get your cat checked out as soon as possible. Left untreated, mouth problems can become major infections with serious health implications.

But we don't want Cat Health Month to be all doom and gloom. If you have a cat, please post a pic in the comments so we can ooh and ahh over them! 😺

…that usually kills puppies and that, unfortunately, the PDSA sees regularly.

But on Change A Pet's Life Day, we're delighted to celebrate a puppy who beat parvo, thanks to the love of her owner Jacqui and the care of the PDSA's Dr Steph. Meet T-Spoon, from Kleinkranz: last year sickly and small, this year happy and healthy!

Treating sick and injured animals is what the PDSA does every single day. Please support them whenever you can 🐾
