Since 2003, Worldwide Veterinary Service has been at the cutting edge of animal welfare. There is nowhere we won't go if an animal needs our support.
All over the world animals are facing unbelievable hardship and lacking even the most basic level of care.
We don't think this is fair.
Worldwide Veterinary Service works tirelessly across the globe to ensure that no animal goes uncared for.
Whether sending vital aid parcels to thousands of organisations working in the poorest areas, delivering expert veterinary training to raise the standard of care worldwide or mobilising our dedicated vets on the ground, we're committed to animal welfare.
Worldwide Veterinary Service is committed to raising the standard of veterinary care globally. We do this by skillfully training local veterinary professionals and students, along with those from overseas, at our International Training Centres in India and Thailand, and engaging veterinary professionals worldwide through our online platform, the WVS Academy.
We're committed to raising the standard of veterinary care around the world. This ensures that whenever and wherever an animal is in need, a professional vet can provide crucial care.
