A HAIRDRESSING salon held a number of events to help raise £4,000 to set up a new dentist for animals.

Strands in Bounces road, Edmonton, held a raffle, a love your pet photo competition, a sponsored silence and a bake sale to support the RSPCA Edmonton Clinic, in Church Street.

The RSPCA clinic can conduct consultations and small surgeries such as neutering, lump removal and wound care.

Currently, all dental surgeries have to be referred to The Harmsworth Animal Hospital in Finsbury Park, where there is a waiting list of up to three months.

Raffle tickets are still on sale in the salon and the winner will be drawn on March 3.
