It attributed the temporary closure to ‘staffing shortages among the vet team.’

Area vet manager, Helen Armstrong, said: ‘We apologise for any inconvenience caused, but maintaining a high quality of care for our clients and pets remains our highest priority. We have notified all affected pet owners directly.

PDSA is the UK’s leading veterinary charity, providing 2.7m treatments to 470,000 pets annually.
