Operations
StreetVet operates throughout London, Bristol, and Brighton. Its major services are: providing veterinary services to pet owners who cannot afford the private fees charged by private veterinary surgeons and promoting animal welfare through education.

Partnerships
The Blue Cross and the Village Vet Group are some of the earliest supporters of StreetVet.
The organisation can't work without the support of local practices and hospitals. While many things can be done on the streets, simple operations such as neutering, dental procedures and lump removals need the use of theatres.
The founders of StreetVet have teamed up with hairdresser and #dosomethingfornothing campaign founder Josh Coombes, who has been giving homeless people across the capital free haircuts for the past 18 months.
StreetVet launched a partnership with IAPWA on World Homeless Day (October 10th 2017)
