Can you receive low-cost veterinary treatment at Harmsworth Animal Hospital?

Who We See (PDF)

If you would like your animals to receive veterinary treatment at the RSPCA Harmsworth Animal Hospital you will need to be able to prove that:

You live within the hospital catchment area

and

either you are receiving a state benefit accepted by the hospital or  your household is on a low income.

It is very important that you take evidence of the state benefit you are receiving or that you are on a low income, as well as proof of your identity and address, every time you visit the hospital. Failure to show these details may mean that the hospital is unable to provide treatment for your animal.

Please note that the RSPCA provides a reduced cost veterinary service. You will be asked to pay in full, on the day of treatment, for services and goods provided by the hospital.
