Staff from the charity visited the construction site to view the progress.
Veterinary charity PDSA has announced that its new Nottingham-based Pet Hospital is a step closer to completion, as rapid progress has been made on its construction.
Known as the PDSA Nottingham Pet Wellbeing Centre, the facility is being created to replace PDSA's current premises, which is now at 'breaking point', with more and more people requiring the charity's assistance.
The new centre will have improved facilities, including a larger and brighter waiting area, with separate waiting areas for cats and dogs, improved kennel facilities, a diagnostic room and digital x-ray facilities.
PDSA staff visited the construction site of the new centre, and received a tour of the facility, learning about the centre's big milestones.
Nottingham PDSA senior veterinary surgeon, Sarah Brown, commented: “It’s fantastic to see the amazing progress on the new Pet Wellbeing Centre – visiting the site and seeing it all come together is making it all feel very real now and we can’t wait for the doors to open.
“We provide a vital service for Nottingham pets whose owners struggle to afford treatment for their sick and injured pets. For many vulnerable pets, we are there to help when there is nowhere else for their owners to turn.
“Covid has brought into focus the unique and special relationship we share with our pets, enriching our lives and combatting loneliness, so we are truly excited to welcome a new, positive chapter for the people and pet owners of Nottingham.
“It’s also a really exciting time to join PDSA, as lots of new opportunities are becoming available ready for its opening. It will be fantastic to welcome new staff members to such an amazing centre with brand new, purpose-built facilities to help the pets in our care.”
Due to open in summer 2022, the centre is getting well underway. Find out more about PDSA's work in Nottingham here.
