** PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SERVICE DOES NOT PROVIDE ADVICE ABOUT ANIMALS TO THE PUBLIC **

There are currently twenty-five anonymous and unpaid volunteer Helpers that run the 24 hours service every day of the year. They are largely either veterinary surgeons or their spouses and offer empathetic discussion of emotional, addictive or financial problems and refer Callers on for specialist advice where appropriate. 
Tel: 07659 811 118 (local call rates apply, 24hr rapid response answer phone)
