Did you know London is the home of three of our veterinary hospitals? Victoria, Hammersmith and Merton.
Our hospitals treat thousands of pets every year, with treatments ranging from routine neutering to complex operations. Victoria is thought to be the oldest of its kind in the world. It opened in 1906 and has never closed its doors to needy animals since. In 2001 it was rebuilt and has state-of-the-art veterinary facilities. We are also offering help to vulnerable pets and their owners in times of hardship with pet food banks at all hospital sites as we believe no pet should go hungry.
Take on the Royal Parks Half and you’ll be helping us change the lives of pets in need.
