Welcome to StreetVet

Homelessness is a growing problem in the UK and an increasing number of homeless people have dogs. The bond between many homeless people and their dogs is profound and the health and wellbeing of their canine companions is often a major priority for their owners.

Life on the streets makes it difficult to access the fundamental vet care required to ensure the health and vitality these dogs deserve. StreetVet is a registered practice with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and has been established by a dedicated team of professional vets and veterinary nurses to bring that essential care to homeless people and their dogs across the capital. Together the StreetVet team take their experience out onto the streets of ever expanding locations, seeking out people; their dogs living rough, and delivering care and support required to ensure their combined wellbeing.

Combined with the critical support of a host of renowned organisations backing our team of qualified professionals, StreetVet is changing the future for homeless dogs who may otherwise have to go without the care they need and deserve.

How to support us

From donating money to fund our work, to purchasing items on our Amazon Wishlist or notifying us of a dog and its owner in need, there are many ways for you to support our programme.

How your support will be used

We will use everything you give – in cash or kind – to provide much needed care to the homeless and their dogs across the cities in which we are active. This includes buying medications; paying for life saving operations; and equipping our team with the kit they need.  

The impact your support will have

By supporting StreetVet your donations will fund an increase in our outreach so we can have more vets on the streets helping more people and dogs in need. By enabling us to deliver this much needed programme, we can ensure people without the resources to care for their pets can continue enjoying the critical companionship their dogs provide.
