Sharing moments of magic
🐾 A quick update on our website 22 October 2026🐾
The National Cyber Security Centre recently announced a security issue affecting PHP, the software used by many websites worldwide.
As a precaution, our web hosts have temporarily restricted file uploads on our site until the issue is resolved. This is a worldwide issue and isn’t specific to our website.
We want to reassure you that our core systems, including Salesforce and MyPAT, have been checked and are not affected by this issue. These systems remain fully operational and secure. We are continuing to monitor the situation closely, working with our providers to ensure all systems remain protected.
If you have any questions, please email info@petsastherapy.org
