Helping animals in places where no one else can.
Right now, thousands of animals are suffering silently with no chance of ever receiving veterinary care. Like you, we don't think this is fair.
Worldwide Veterinary Service provides free expert care to animals in need all over the world. We do this by sending vets where they are needed most, training them to increase the standard of care globally and by shipping urgent aid supplies worldwide, every week of the year.
In 2022, thanks to the incredible support of our members, volunteers and partners, we performed 25,136 sterilisation surgeries, administered 34,538 vaccinations, sent 478 aid parcels to 175 animal charities globally, and directly treated 6,072 working animals.
But it’s not just about treating individual animals. It’s also crucial to ensure effective care can be continued after treatment. That’s why our interventions were supported by educational workshops for owners and training for local veterinary professionals.
At our International Training Centres, we delivered world-class surgical training to 586 vet students and professionals, and we trained a further 609 vets through our All-Terrain Clinic, Taskforce, and outreach programmes. Our WVS Academy which provides free online resources for the global veterinary community, continued to grow, and enabled us to reach more vets this year than ever before. We also trained 1,058 veterinary assistants and non-veterinary participants, such as animal handlers.
