Blue Cross animal hospital

Blue Cross Victoria Animal Hospital is a charitable veterinary hospital in Victoria, London, providing subsidised care for pets whose owners receive means-tested benefits and live within the catchment area. It treats thousands of pets each year with services ranging from routine neutering and vaccinations to more complex operations in a modern hospital setting.

Opened in 1906 and believed to be one of the oldest facilities of its kind in the world, the hospital has never closed its doors to vulnerable animals and was rebuilt with state-of-the-art veterinary equipment in 2001. A team of experienced vets and nurses offers consultations by appointment, with out-of-hours emergency advice and treatment available subject to specific eligibility and fees.

Clients value Blue Cross Victoria for its accessible, non-judgemental support that helps those who cannot afford private fees while still maintaining high standards of clinical care. As part of the wider Blue Cross charity network, the hospital’s mission is to keep pets and people together by making essential veterinary treatment more affordable.
