Description
The societal aspects of StreetVetting
1) Recognise the costs of pet ownership for individuals experiencing homelessness and the potential solutions vets can facilitate
2) Understand the opportunities and considerations of providing community-based veterinary services to potentially vulnerable owners.
3) Be aware of the unique medical challenge and risk factors associated with this growing population.
StreetVet is a vet led volunteer initiative providing free accessible vet care for those experiencing homelessness and their pets in the U.K.
What started as 2 vets and a backpack is now a team of over 300 vets and nurses outreaching weekly in 9 locations across the U.K.
