Policy
We know from our experience that there are many pet owners who are too well off to receive help from the major animal charities, but who cannot afford good basic healthcare for their animals.
We know that there are many animals which do not receive regular health checks, vaccinations, flea control and worming because their owners are frightened of what the cost might be.
We know that the major killer diseases like canine parvovirus, feline leukaemia and rabbit viral haemorrhagic disease still kill hundreds of animals in this region every month.
We know that although many animal charities are overstretched by their effort to provide subsidised neutering schemes, many owners still find the cost too great.
We know that thousands of lost dogs and cats are put down in Leeds and Bradford every year because there is no way of identifying them.
We know that many pets and their owners' homes are badly infested with fleas every summer.
We know that most pets are wormed infrequently and that this poses a small public health risk.
We are doing something about it.
Our Aims Are:
- To make affordable pet health care available to everyone.
- To display all charges prominently and keep to them absolutely
- To eliminate the major infectious diseases of cats, dogs and rabbits.
- To promote responsible pet ownership.
- To reduce the numbers of strays and unwanted pets.
- To encourage the permanent identification of all pets.
- To enable owners to keep their pets free from fleas and worms.
