Middlesbrough PDSA Pet Hospital is part of PDSA (a charity) and is described on its website as providing free and low-cost veterinary care for pets in need. It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility.

From the latest reviews, the hospital appears heavily involved in urgent same-day decision-making and end‑of‑life care: owners describe being given quick appointments when a pet worsened, and multiple reviews focus on euthanasia and how that was handled. Practical details mentioned include being seen earlier than the booked time when arriving early, and medication being dispensed in around 10 minutes. There are mixed experiences around policies/eligibility and euthanasia arrangements (see Reviews).

Services

Services and capabilities explicitly mentioned include

  • Free and low-cost veterinary care (website).
  • Veterinary nurse training facility (clinic data).
  • Appointments and urgent bookings: one owner reports calling the night before, then being offered an appointment “straight away” the next day when the problem worsened.
  • Medication supply/dispensing (one review cites ~10 minutes for medication to be dispensed).
  • Diagnostic testing (one review describes paying for a test with results expected by lunchtime).
  • Euthanasia / end-of-life care, including
  • Discussion of diagnosis contributing to euthanasia decisions (e.g., a “growth” affecting mobility in a hamster).
  • Explaining the euthanasia process and giving owners time afterwards (one review).
  • Keepsakes mentioned in one review: paw print and a small shaved fur clipping on request.
  • Discussion of “next steps” such as cremation options (one review).

Pricing

Pricing details mentioned in reviews

  • One reviewer describes being asked to pay £150 for a test, plus a further £150 “at the end of the treatment depending on test results.”
  • The same reviewer states they were told monthly payments aren’t available (this is one person’s account, not confirmed elsewhere in the provided sources).

People

Specific staff descriptions from reviews

  • Reception team: one reviewer says a receptionist handled a highly stressful call “perfectly,” helping get a dog booked in and registered and sharing some online advice that “helped slightly.”
  • An “older lady vet with blonde hair” is singled out by one reviewer as “lovely.”
  • Other experiences conflict
  • One reviewer felt “most of the veterinary staff” were rude and not sympathetic, particularly during a grieving situation.
  • Another reviewer describes staff being supportive during euthanasia, including explaining what would happen, allowing the owner to stay, and providing time afterwards.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.3 stars from 1,178 reviews. “”

  • End-of-life care is a dominant theme, with several owners describing euthanasia decisions (including for small pets) and how the process was managed.
  • Support and communication during euthanasia gets both strong praise and strong criticism
  • Praise includes being given the option to stay, clear explanations, time afterwards, and keepsakes (paw print; fur clipping on request).
  • Criticism includes one account stating their dog was euthanised without them present, and that they were told it was hospital policy—this directly conflicts with another review where the owner says they were given the option to stay.
  • Access/eligibility and registration issues appear in at least one negative review: an owner reports being refused because the pet wasn’t registered under their name and they were told the hospital wasn’t accepting new people.
  • Speed of service is mentioned positively in a few places (e.g., being seen earlier than the appointment time; quick dispensing of medication).
