Veterinary Outreach
Veterinary Outreach is a vital service across the homeless community and where we first began to offer support back in 2016.
A team of over 400 veterinary volunteers work across the UK and our outreach takes place in the first week of the month (more information in our 'Locations' tab)
We work with established services in each area such a soup kitchen or homeless service, to make sure that we are easily accessible.
During regular outreach sessions we provide free accessible vet care.
The vet team will perform a routine health check and chat with the owner about any problem, issues or concerns.
We routinely provide Vaccinations, flea and worming treatments, pain relief, eye and ear medications and microchips. We also provide dog food, leads and collars and dog coats.
We partner with a veterinary practice in each area to enable us to perform procedures and treatments we cannot carry out on the streets.
These have included, but are not limited to:
- neutering
- orthopaedic surgery
- mass removals
- dental procedures
