PATIENT ADMISSION INFO

Always call ahead before bringing any patient to our Hospital.

To protect the welfare of our patients the Hospital is not open to the general public.

Patient updates can only be given over the phone between 4:30-6pm.

We are not able to provide a rescue service for wildlife casualties.

We do not have a full time vet onsite at all times.

If you have found a sick, injured or orphaned wild animal, please visit our ‘Wildlife Advice’ page first. If you need further advice, please call our Helpline and listen to the options carefully.

Always telephone us before bringing wildlife casualties to the Hospital so that we can give you advice on the best course of action for the welfare of the bird or animal. We do not have a vet on site at all times so you may be redirected to a local vet if the patient needs treatment.

The phones are answered by the same team caring for the patients, 7 days a week. An out of hours volunteer answers the calls outside of our admission hours for emergencies only.

For emergency cases outside of our admission hours, please call and take the patient to your local out of hours vet. They have a duty of care to help and cannot charge you.

CARE, COMPASSION AND COMMITMENT TO THE WELFARE OF WILDLIFE

Welcome to Brent Lodge Wildlife Hospital. With a legacy spanning over 55 years our dedicated team of expert staff and caring volunteers treats and rehabilitates British wildlife casualties with the aim of easing suffering where necessary, and re-releasing healthy animals back to the wild. Whether it’s volunteering at our charity, donating to our work, or just following our news updates, your support means so much and enables us to continue our vital work helping wildlife in need.

We are thrilled to partner with The Big Give once again to launch our match funding appeal, helping us continue to care for hedgehogs in need. To take part in the campaign, we need to raise £1,450 in pledged match funding. With this in mind, we are inviting generous hedgehog lovers to pledge to make a donation towards this target. The minimum pledge amount is £100, as set by TBG. These pledges must be made by August but do not need to be fulfilled until later in the year. If you can help our hedgehog care appeal we would be grateful. Thank you!
