Pet Care

The care sheets recommended on this website are amongst the best, so I am not going to try to reinvent the wheel and write my own. Having done the leg-work for you, all you need do is click on the links to find all the information you require at your fingertips.

The RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) surely needs no introduction. The RSPCA is a charity which will, by all lawful means, prevent cruelty, promote kindness to and alleviate suffering of animals. Its £82m annual running costs are funded exclusively by voluntary donations and legacies.

IF YOU SUSPECT ANY ANIMAL IS BEING MISTREATED, ABUSED OR NEGLECTED, CALL THE RSPCA CRUELTY LINE on 0870 55 55 99.

The RSPCA provides a whole series of excellent care sheets on its website which help you take care of your feathered, furry and scaly friends. You will find the appropriate links here.
