Our clinic provides a high standard of small animal treatment and care to the South Cotswolds area, which covers Fairford, Cirencester, Tetbury, Wotton-Under-Edge, Dursley, Berkeley, Stonehouse, Stroud and Nailsworth. It exists to provide people on income support with a low cost solution to their animal health problems.
Please bring proof that you receive benefits. Those which we accept are:
- Income Support
- Sickness/Invalild Benefit
- Pension Credits
- Unemployment Benefit
- Widow's Benefit
- Housing Benefit
Should your pet need further ongoing treatment (e.g. x-rays, blood tests, operations, long term medication etc.), a Help Voucher Scheme will apply which provides one quarter of the total bill to a maximum of £40 (on a bill exceeding £50) in any 12 month period. This policy has been adopted to ensure that as many animals as possible can benefit from our limited resources.
Microchipping is available at a cost of only £8. New animals registered with the clinic should be microchipped. Please note that the limit on the number of animals and owner can register with our clinic is three.
Voucher Scheme
The Voucher Scheme policy has been designed to ensure that as many animals as possible can benefit from our limited resources. As with our clinic the scheme exists to provide people on income support with a low cost solution to their animal health problems.
Help Vouchers
The RSPCA can cover a quarter of the total vet's bill up to a maximum of £40 assuming the bill exceeds £50 and the pet owner is in receipt of one of the following:
- Income Support
- Sickness/Invalild Benefit
- Pension Credits
- Unemployment Benefit
- Widow's Benefit
- Housing Benefit
- Severe Disability Benefit
- A special case referral by a veterinary surgeon or approved by the committee
You must call into the office with proof of benefit and a copy of the vet's bill. We will then ask you to complete and sign an Almoning Form before we issue you with a voucher to take to your vet. Your vet will either refund the portion being paid by the RSPCA or credit your vet account. Please note that only one voucher can be issued in any 12 month period.
Neutering Vouchers
These vouchers are available to those people meeting the same criteria as above. When bringing your proof of benefit and vet's bill into the office, you should also pay your donation towards the cost of the operation. These are currently set as follows:
- Bitch Spay: £75.00
- Dog Castrate: £55.00
- Cat Spay: £35.75
- Cat Castrate: £22.00
- Rabbit Spay: £45.00
- Rabbit Castrate: £27.00
You will then be given an RSPCA Voucher to take to your vet to advise that we will
cover the full cost of the neutering operation.
