Community Support
Where you can get help when you need it for you and your pet.
Pet Aid Community Hubs
We’re expanding our preventative services to offer even greater support to communities across Scotland.
As part of this effort, we’ve launched Pet Aid Community Hubs to help keep people and their pets together. By giving advice and support, we aim to reduce the need for rescue or rehoming, helping pets stay at home, with the people who love them.
Pet Aid Food Banks
We work with food banks across Scotland to ensure that people and pets in need have access to pet food.
If you are struggling, please find your local food bank:

Pet Aid Veterinary
We launched a vital new service last year – Pet Aid Veterinary – to support the communities that need us most. This initiative offers essential veterinary care through pop-up advice hubs, drop-in clinics, and referrals from our dedicated Scottish SPCA Inspectors.
Pet Aid Veterinary helps keep pets where they belong – at home with their families – by providing in-home visits and urgent treatment for medical issues. These short-term interventions improve animal welfare and remove barriers to care, offering advice and local support so pet owners can continue to meet their pets’ needs.
To become a donation site, please email: PetAid@scottishspca.org.
