We’re not playing games. The time to get vet services to those that need them, but can’t access them, is now.
Why does BC need more non-profit, mobile vet clinics?
1. To reduce animal suffering?
2. To make communities healthier and safer?
3. Because healthcare should be accessible by everyone (whether they have fur, feathers, fins, two legs or four)?
Yes, yes, yes.
Simply put, the for-profit vet sector simply cannot keep up with all the animal health needs in our communities, especially in rural and remote areas. As food banks are to grocery stores (both provide food to people but are not competitors), non-profit vet clinics can augment a community’s animal care so that everyone receives essential care.
Our Mission Pawsible team is primarily focused on getting to underserved communities to provide a spectrum of non-profit vet services including vaccinations and spay & neuter surgeries. The vaccines help reduce disease spread among dog and cat populations that can also spread to other species like wolves and humans.
The spays and neuters help diminish unwanted litters of puppies and kittens that often end up living short, rough lives. These surgeries also help slow the flow of unwanted, often under-socialized dogs and cats to urban animal shelters.
Both the vaccines and surgeries help reduce human/wildlife conflict potential too - unwanted dog and cat populations can be attractants to wolves, cougars, bears, etc. Our secondary focus is to provide low-cost vet services wherever they are needed - including urban areas. We work with animal rescues to facilitate these clinics.
Our vision: seed the non-profit vet sector in BC by building affordable vetmobiles (we just finished our third), training vets and techs to work in small, high volume environments, and by building a network of compassionate supporters. We are picturing a food truck-like revolution for vetmobiles!
