Families looking for the perfect Father’s Day gift for the dad who has everything can now send him a gift that will not only let him know how loved he is, it can make him feel great about helping poorly pets too.

So often, dads already have all the golf clubs, car shampoo and slippers they could possibly need – so PDSA is inviting everyone to surprise the UK’s fathers with alternative gifts that also help to support the leading veterinary charity’s work.

The PDSA well-vetted gift range offers a selection of ‘virtual’ presents, which raise funds to provide free veterinary care for sick and injured pets. Ideal for anyone passionate about animal welfare, well-vetted gifts start from as little as £10, and include a personalised card for the recipient.

Just like a treasured car, a beloved pet needs to have regular health checks to ensure they are in tip top condition. Purchasing ‘The Full Service’ as a well-vetted gift for £25 would fund a consultation at one of PDSA’s PetAid hospitals. Anyone wanting to remind their dad that ‘There’s life in the old dog (or cat) yet’ can help provide a week’s worth of arthritis medicine for an elderly pet, for just £28.

PDSA Head of Marketing, John Cole, said, “For anyone struggling to think of the right present for a dad who has everything, a PDSA virtual gift is the perfect solution. PDSA well-vetted gifts make great presents for animal lovers and are ideal for many other occasions such as birthdays, weddings and anniversaries. They’re simple to buy too – once you’ve chosen your virtual present, you then personalise an attractive greetings card that will get sent to the person you’re buying for.”

PDSA doesn’t receive government or lottery funding for its PetAid services, so relies on the generosity of animal lovers to help raise the £50 million needed to care for 350,000 pet patients each year.
