Here’s a bit more background on StreetVet: StreetVet is a national charity providing free accessible veterinary care to the pets of those experiencing homelessness. StreetVet started as two vets and a backpack of medical supplies on the streets of London in 2016 and now has 24 outreach locations across the UK with over 600 vet/vet nurse volunteers providing StreetVet services. They deliver free preventative and reactive veterinary care, procedures such as simple diagnostic tests, flea and worming treatment, education, and daily essentials such as food, treats, and other pet equipment. Anything that can be done in a veterinary consulting room StreetVet can do on the streets, this includes blood testing, sampling lumps, dispensing medication, and microchipping. Most of our clients describe their pets as family, their main source of mental health support, and credit their pet-human bond with giving them a reason to live. Our mission is simple, to protect the human-animal bond, keeping pets and their owners together wherever possible. StreetVet recognises and champions the importance of the human-animal bond and since inception has treated over 2,500 pets and performed more than 10,000 consults. In discovering that less than 10 %* of UK hostels are pet friendly, the StreetVet Accredited Hostel Scheme was launched in 2020 to make it as easy as possible for hostels to say yes to pets and prioritise keeping owners and their beloved pets together.
