Does anyone know what percentage of cost would be appropriate as a donation to PDSA?

I think the appropriate donation depends on your circumstances, if you can give more then 100% then you will be helping a pet that may otherwise not get treated.

Thanks for the replies, and I agree with both of you. However, I have had to stop using my regular vet, owing to the cost and the limit that my fixed income (State Pension) will stretch to. So I wondered what would be acceptable, without leaving me with nothing to live on.

Pay what you can afford to at the appointment, you can give donations at any other time aswell.

Percentage? No but suggest a minimum of £10 I have 3 cats registered and when they go 2 together I give them £25 they put £12.50 on each account. They rely on donations to stay open people should give as much as they can or face losing them and having to go private which most of their clients cannot afford to do. If a cat stays in my daughter will chip in with a tenner

Thank you lady_jane and everyone who offered their views. It has been a help to, so thanks again.

This is from the PDSA website about how many animals can be registered....

• From the start of July 2011, an eligible PDSA PetAid hospital client can still register up to three pets, but only one pedigree cat or dog will be permitted per client.
• Special provision will be made for existing second or third pedigree pets that are reliant on continuous treatment, for example, a second or third pedigree pet that is diabetic and dependent upon insulin. In such cases ongoing registration may be permitted, as long as the client continues to be eligible for PDSA help.
• The vast majority of current hospital patients (93%) are unaffected, meaning only 7% will be affected by this new policy.
• PDSA is giving all eligible owners one full registration period, in addition to any months left on current registration, before the new rule takes effect. This gives PetAid hospital clients time (in some cases up to two years) to make arrangements for the care of their second and third pedigree pets.
• We have taken great care to ensure that all pet owners affected are given as much support as possible during the phasing in of this new policy.
