Visitors will have the chance to go behind the scenes of the busy hospital on Newhall Road to see where life-saving pet operations are carried out.

Senior Vet at Sheffield PDSA, Rob Haselgrove, said: “If you’ve ever wondered what goes on inside a pet hospital, all will be revealed! There will be plenty going on for the whole family, with tours of the operating theatre and x-ray suite, pet stalls, refreshments, a fun dog show, and plenty of entertaining activities for children including a bouncy castle.

“We’re holding this open day as it will give people the chance to learn more about the charity, which has been saving the lives of pets every single day for 100 years.”

The event will raise funds for Sheffield PDSA Pet Hospital, which costs around £1.3m annually to run and doesn’t receive any government funding.

Rob added: “We’re really looking forward to giving our in-depth pet hospital tours, offering animal lovers an insight into how pets get diagnosed, what happens in an operating theatre and how we help poorly pets recover after surgery. There will be hands-on demonstrations and children will even be able to experience life as a PDSA vet!”
