GREAT
NEWS!!!
PDSA
or Peoples Dispensary for Sick Animals to offer Petaid practice
in High Wycombe Crossroads
Veterinary are pleased to announce that as from 1st October
06 we are joining the PDSA Petaid scheme for pet owners who
are in receipt of Housing benefit or council tax benefit. What
does this mean? well if you are a pet owner who receives benefits
as mentioned then contact the practice for a leaflet
for the scheme and call the number on it. The
PDSA will then explain how it works and you will receive a registration
form. Once this is complete and the PDSA have received and checked
details they will issue you with a certificate for the named
pet.
What costs are covered? the scheme is for sick and injured animals
and so they will not pay for vaccinations and routine neutering
which of course are recommended as basic animal care, but once
you are registered with Crossroads and the PDSA Petaid scheme
you can book your pet in for an appointment for veterinary treatment.
The scheme does not cover breeding of your pet especially for
financial gain.
Your certificate will be valid for 6 or 12 months and they PDSA
will contact you to renew as necessary. Only one pet per household
is allowed but you can select to chose to name another pet at
re registration time.
So call in to the practice or look out for posters at local
community centres etc and contact the number if you think you
may be entitled to Petaid and get registered.
To all our clients who may ask will this affect the practice
or the way the practice works in anyway? no not at all the Veterinary
Centre will continue as we have for many years offering the
best in pet healthcare and client care we can. Clients will
not in any way see fee increases to assist the scheme as it
is run and funded by the PDSA not the practice. We are just
able to offer a little something back to the community and see
clients here who may have had to travel out of the area to seek
subsidised pet care.
Do you know a friend, family member or neighbour who may benefit
from this scheme and not be aware of it? young or old alike,
please let them know about it.
Crossroads Vets are based at 54 West Wycombe road High Wycombe,
Amersham Road - Hazlemere and Couching Street- Watlington
Kind regards
Your
Veterinary Practice
