FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Most of us can cope with the financial commitment involved in the day to day care of our pets.  However, how many of us come out in a cold sweat when our pet is ill or injured and we know we have to take it to the vet?  Most of us are fortunate enough to be able to afford it but, some of us who love our animals dearly cannot. Unfortunately we do not have a PDSA or a RSPCA Centre within our area, but there are a few charities who may be able to help.

SAVE A PET
This is a charity local to Lancaster and district and they have assured me that most vets in the area are aware of them.  However, they are very keen to raise funds but very secretive on how to contact them.  Should you have difficulty in getting assistance to find out more, via your vets, let me know.   May give assistance with veterinary costs. 		01524 853635
