Health and veterinary
Many dogs and cats arrive at Battersea in robust health and need little more than a quick check-over, vaccination, worming and flea treatment. However, others arrive in poor condition or ill health and it is up to our team of five vets and 25 nurses to care for them and nurse them back to fitness, ready for a fresh start in a new permanent home.
Our vets treat a huge variety of conditions, details of some recent cases are available to view here. There is also information about some common veterinary conditions and answers to some of the questions frequently asked by pet owners, especially when they bring their rescue dog or cat home for the first time.
