Veterinary
Find out if you're eligible for Blue Cross veterinary support with two simple checks.
How our services work
We are here to help you and your pets when they're unwell or injured. Think of our hospitals as a combination of a GP and A&E for animals. We care for cats, dogs, small birds, and little furry pets like rabbits and hamsters.
Blue Cross aims to make vet care more affordable for people who qualify. The amount of discount you might get can vary. There will always be a fee to see the vet.
Our focus is to make sure your pet is healthy and not in pain. Because we're a charity, we might not have all the same services as a private vet. We offer appointments over the phone and in person. When you book an appointment, we'll talk about what your pet needs to decide the best type of appointment.
