New PDSA clinic opens in North London
The clinic was opened on 21 March by Jan McLoughlin, PDSA's director general.
The new facility expands the charity’s reach in the area.

A new PDSA Pet Clinic has been officially opened in North London, as part of a partnership between the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA) and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA).

Edmonton Green Clinic which is a refurbished former RSPCA clinic, was opened on 21 March by Jan McLoughlin, PDSA’s director general.

The opening of the facility follows RSPCA’s decision to phase out public-facing services at RSPCA Finsbury Park Animal Hospital. Through Edmonton Green PDSA, the charity will ensure veterinary care remains available for clients.

This will mean RSPCA can focus on rescuing and treating animals suffering from cruelty and neglect, while PDSA prioritises affordable veterinary care for pet owners struggling to afford treatments.

The new clinic enables PDSA to provide vital veterinary services to 11 new postcodes in the area.

It will operate as a branch of Hendon PDSA Pet Hospital, with routine services provided by the clinic, and more complex treatments offered by the pet hospital. The same veterinary team will run both sites.

PDSA has already seen hundreds of applications for the new catchment area, just weeks after the clinic was opened. It says that this shows the significant demand for help with veterinary costs.

Speaking on 22 March, Ms McLoughlin said: “I was delighted to open our new Edmonton Green Clinic yesterday, and to meet some of the local owners and pets who will be able to benefit from this.

“Our collaboration with RSPCA has given PDSA the opportunity to improve our services in this much-needed area and to be there for more people, enabling us to keep more pets together with their loving families.”
