World Vets Helps Animals Impacted by the Tornado in Oklahoma, USA
World Vets teamed up with the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and BlogPaws to help animals in Oklahoma following the devastating Tornado that hit the area in May.
World Vets set up a tornado relief fundraiser that provided direct support to three organizations operating in the area. The recipient organizations were the Central Oklahoma Humane Society, the OSU Animal Relief Fund and the Pampered Pets Clinic Disaster Relief. We also sent a truck load of veterinary and pet supplies which were delivered by our local TV station Valley News Live. These donated supplies were set up next to the "Reunion Facility" for owners that had been recently reunited with their pets to "shop" for food, crates, toys and more
A huge thank you is in order to all of those who have supported us and our partners; BlogPaws, American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and Pets360. We also thank everyone who contributed to our tornado relief fundraiser - it made a huge difference in the lives of both pets and pet owners affected by the disaster.

World Vets Provides Equine Welfare Clinic in Nicaragua
World Vets recently deployed a volunteer veterinary team to Granada, Nicaragua as part of our equine welfare project in the area. Our team, along with Nicaraguan veterinarians and students, held a free equine welfare clinic in and around the city which benefited 300 horses.
This clinic targeted carriage and cart horses whose owners can`t afford veterinary services for their working equines. Services included parasite control, hoof and dental work, vaccinations, castrations, pregnancy checks, wound treatments, mass removals and more!
This project is generously supported by Fondation Brigitte Bardot.
