Hip hip hooray, three cheers for the vet team at Bradford’s PDSA Pet Hospital as it celebrates its 20th year of helping the city’s pets in need from its Lorne Street site.

The Jeanne Marchig Centre on Lorne Street first opened in 2004 and has since provided more than 870,000 treatments

One of 49 PDSA Pet Hospitals in the UK, the talented team has treated sick and injured pets in need for two decades, providing a vital lifeline for local owners who are struggling to afford vet care.

To celebrate, a ‘paw-some’ group of colleagues took on a fundraising challenge to raise funds for the charity.

Led by Veterinary Nurse Team Leader, Abby Stanley-Jones, the team walked from their sister PDSA Pet Clinic in Huddersfield back to Bradford PDSA Pet Hospital, covering 11 miles.

Abby said: “We’re so proud to be celebrating 20 years of keeping people and pets together in Bradford.

“I’ve been at PDSA for nearly seven years and in that time, I can safely say no two days have ever been the same. It’s a great place to work!

“When it came to celebrating our big birthday we wanted to do something different and give back to the charity at the same time, so a group of us decided to take on a challenge.

“We had a great day and it was lovely to be out of the usual clinical environment to bond with the team.

“A huge thank you to everyone who sponsored us, we raised a total of £277).”
