World Vets has partnered with Lakefield Veterinary Group to provide their team members with an international experience which allows them to give back and help animals in need. What’s more, this opportunity not only helps to foster their corporate culture of “do the right thing”, it also gives employees the chance to meet and work with other members of the Lakefield “family”.

World Vets to Increase Veterinary Assistance for Small Animals in Asia

Dec 21

World Vets consistently works in all regions of the world, however our veterinary assistance has predominately been focused in Latin America and the Caribbean. Asia on the other hand, has been a region of the world that we have assisted periodically, though on a smaller scale. In 2018 this is about to change!

We are excited to announce that we will be ramping up our veterinary assistance for small animals in select countries in Asia. With that being said, we will also have more volunteer opportunities in the coming year in this region of the world. Stay tuned and stay glued to our upcoming volunteer opportunities
