What does Responsible Pet Care mean to PDSA?
Promoting Responsible Pet Care (RPC) is a key component of PDSA’s mission. By educating owners about their pets needs we aim to improve the health and wellbeing of pets nationwide. Pet ownership is not a decision that should be taken lightly. Owning a pet means taking on the responsibility to care for the pet throughout its life. Pets provide unconditional love and companionship and choosing the right pet can be very rewarding. Care of any pet involves plenty of commitment – which is all part of that special partnership between pet and owner. PDSA believes that the companionship of an animal adds to the quality of life of both young and old and that no-one should be excluded from this. Not only does PDSA produce a range of pet health care leaflets and PDSA Petcasts designed to highlight important pet care topics to owners, but all of the charity’s events, promotional materials, press releases and marketing campaigns, highlight the importance of good pet care.
