THE most advanced pet hospital in the country has opened in Liverpool.
The flagship PetAid centre, in Celia Street, Kirkdale, cost the PDSA animal charity pounds 1.5m to build.
Staff expect to treat more than 300 pet patients every day at the new hospital and at their Huyton base.
Its free services will be available to families on housing or council tax benefit living in certain parts of Merseyside.
The hospital is the first in the country to have a dental and diagnostic theatre, a digital X-ray room and other state-of-the-art facilities. It is called the Jeanne Marchig Centre, after one of PDSA’s biggest donors.
Senior vet Stephen McArdle said: “We are delighted the hospital has opened.”
Ken Dodd, who opened the hospital yesterday, said: “I admire what PDSA do and this is a wonderful new facility – money well spent.”
