A black and white dog, sitting on a wooden stump, has its tongue out, wearing a collar with a green tag, and behind it is greenery and a clear blue sky.

StreetVet

StreetVet was born in 2016, inspired by the incredible bond between a homeless man and his dog.

Victims of the UK homelessness epidemic often have scant support, except for, in a growing number of cases, the companionship of their pets.

StreetVet volunteer vets and nurses, working with outreach organisations, are out in multiple communities weekly across the UK.

Since inception they have helped care for over 2500 pets; mainly dogs, but also cats, rabbits, ferrets and other companion animals too.

Vets Now is proud to support StreetVet

At Vets Now we encourage our veterinary staff to volunteer a few hours in the evening or at the weekend when they can.

Our staff support StreetVet to deliver free preventative and reactive veterinary care and procedures.

To help StreetVet continue its vital work we are proud to be raising awareness and donating funds as part of our Pet of the Year 2024 campaign.

For every valid nomination, we will donate £1 to StreetVet to help them continue providing free essential veterinary care to the pets of those experiencing homelessness.
