Are your pet's vaccinations up to date?

Current Alert: Canine Parvovirus Present in Cambridge

Any dog whose vaccinations are not current could be at risk of contracting canine distemper or canine parvovirus. The disease is particularly dangerous to younger dogs who have never been vaccinated and is very often fatal. If your dog or puppy is not vaccinated please consult your vet - IT IS NOT WORTH risking a £500 vet bill and a dead dog at the end of it for the sake of saving the comparatively small cost of vaccination. If you are on benefits or state pension and really cannot afford the full cost, you may be eligible to have the vaccination given at our clinic at a lower rate than a private vet would need to charge.

If your dog is not vaccinated and starts vomiting or has diarrhoea DO NOT let them mix with other dogs and phone your vet for advice. If you have more than one dog, keep the sick one away from the ones who are still healthy. Contact your vet by phone for advice before getting the healthy dogs vaccinated - they may be carrying the disease and it is important that they are not brought into contact with other dogs.

Users of the RSPCA animal clinic must bring proof of benefits or paperwork such as a bank-statement which shows that they have a very low income each time they visit the clinic. If you are unable to bring your pet yourself it's fine for a helper to bring them for you, but the helper must show proof that you are in receipt of benefit and needs to have a signed note from you confirming that they are bringing the animal on your behalf.

RSPCA Pet Insurance The RSPCA offer extensive pet insurance for cats and dogs at great value prices extensively designed to help in times of greatest need. Low cost monthly premiums start at only £2.92 for cats and £5.41 for dogs. You can also compare other pet insurance policies via our webshop.

Please support our charity shops

Our main charity shop in Newmarket is at 156, the High Street. Our second-hand bookshop is at 188 Mill Road. We formerly had a small retro/vintage shop at 184 Mill Road, but such a small selling space didn't give us a reasonable sales turnover and we are in the process of transferring sales of second-hand and vintage clothes to a much larger shop in a busier site. To keep our services running we need to achieve an average turnover per shop of at least £900 per week. With your help as shoppers we will do it!
