StreetVet
StreetVet
StreetVet is an award-winning national charity offering free accessible vet care and services to pets belonging to those experiencing homelessness. What started in 2016 as 2 vets and a backpack full of veterinary supplies, is now a charity fuelled by hundreds of vet and vet nurse volunteers who swap the practice for the pavement in 23 locations across the UK from Glasgow to Cornwall and growing.
StreetVet champions the importance of the human-animal bond and in discovering that less than 10%* of UK hostels are pet friendly, launched the StreetVet Accredited Hostel Scheme to make it as easy as possible for hostels to say yes to pets and prioritise keeping owners and their beloved pets together.
Currently, many people experiencing homelessness face the impossible choice between a roof over their heads or giving up their best friend.
