Greater Manchester Animal Hospital

Services provided

The RSPCA Greater Manchester Animal Hospital provides a 24-hour veterinary service for sick or injured owned and stray animals.

People on a low income, or who are on certain benefits, and who live within the hospital’s catchment area can take their animals to the hospital for veterinary advice and treatment.   

The hospital has links with many local animal charities and provides low-cost neutering, microchipping and other veterinary treatments to animals in the care of these organisations.

For routine advice, microchipping and treatment the hospital clinics are open between 7.30am and 4pm Monday to Friday.

For clients registered at the hospital an emergency service is available after 4pm and during the weekends.

On every visit clients will be asked to show evidence that they are in receipt of benefits or that they are on low incomes. The hospital does not use an appointment system and you may have to wait to see a vet.

The hospital collaborates with local RSPCA supporters in Bolton, Bury and Oldham to provide veterinary cover for a ‘mobile’ veterinary clinic, as well as a mobile theatre to neuter animals.

This service is available to members of the public by appointment only and information regarding these services in the Bolton area is available on 01294 521160 and in the Oldham area on 0161 624 0444.

Hospital facilities 

The RSPCA Greater Manchester Animal Hospital runs a busy theatre backed up by facilities such as a laboratory, radiography room and ultrasound machine. Animals are nursed in five main ward areas.

The hospital is currently developing an early neutering theatre where very young cats and dogs can be spayed or castrated.
