Book a free weigh in appointment and get £5 off

Throughout February and March 2023, PDSA (People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals) will be hosting their first-ever PDSA Big Weigh-In!

Keeping your beloved pet at a healthy weight is vital to help them reduce the risk of developing obesity-related long-term health problems, so we’ve partnered with the PDSA to raise

awareness and tackle the growing issue of obesity in pets.

Give your pet a fighting chance to live a long and healthy life by taking them to a Free Big Weigh-In appointment to help prevent avoidable, and often expensive-to-treat illnesses –

especially as the cost-of-living crisis worsens. A number of vets have joined the fight to tackle pet obesity, offering to weigh your pet, provide a body condition score (BCS) and give advice

on how to keep your four-legged friend at a healthy weight – all free of charge! You will get £5 off your next Royal Canin purchase in the practice you visited and Royal Canin will also

donate £1 to PDSA for every submission of a verified Body Condition Score*!

Find your local participating vet practice and book your pet’s Big Weigh-In appointment today.

PDSA is the UK’s leading veterinary charity. We exist to provide free and low-cost vet care to the pets of people in need. Without PDSA, the poorest and

most disadvantaged in our society could not afford treatment for their sick or injured pets, leading to unnecessary animal suffering and the human

anxiety this creates.


Operating through a UK-wide network of 48 Pet Hospitals, we provided 1.8 million treatments in 2021, to prevent the suffering of animals and to relieve

the effects of poverty on families and communities nationwide.

PDSA has been a lifeline for sick and injured pets since 1917. We are a leading authority on all things concerning pet health and wellbeing: whether it’s

running the debate on pet obesity, conducting Britain’s biggest annual pet wellbeing survey, raising the status of animals through our animal awards

programme, or simply celebrating their contribution to our lives.

Our Partnership

Together with Royal Canin we will address the UK’s worsening pet obesity crisis by raising awareness of the increasing number of overweight pets.

Diet and nutrition has a huge impact on our four-legged friends’ physical and mental wellbeing.

So, as well as supplying Royal Canin’s prescription and life-stage foods in our UK-wide PDSA Pet Hospitals, we will also be collaborating to help educate owners on how to keep their pets happy and healthy.
