Assisted Veterinary Treatment Scheme
This scheme is operated to prevent the unnecessary
suffering of animals in need of urgent veterinary attention.
If your animal is in need of medical treatment you MUST
get help.
Take it to your nearest veterinary surgery
or call their out of hours telephone number
which can be found in the "Yellow Pages" or your telephone book.
Alternatively, click below for a list of local surgeries.
People in living in the Tameside area, and in receipt of
means-tested
benefits,
are asked to take their animals to,
The R.S.P.C.A.'s Greater Manchester Animal
Hospital,
411 Eccles New Road, Salford M5 2NN (Tel: 08709 085
311)
opening hours for open consultations are:
Monday to Friday 7:30am - 4pm.
(You do not need an appointment but please be prepared for a long wait)
People living in the Glossop area are NOT
in
the Hospital's catchment area and are
therefore asked to contact a local veterinary
surgeon to find out if the practice takes part
in the RSPCA's Assisted Treatment scheme
before booking an appointment
In association with local veterinary surgeons the branch is able
to offer financial assistance to people on means-tested benefits.
Due to pressures on limited branch funds we are only able
to offer help on bills over £40.00 to people in receipt of the
following
benefits:
Job Seekers' Allowance
Housing Benefit
Income Support
