World Vets remains committed to the health and well-being of the dogs and cats of San Cristobal Island by providing ongoing veterinary care to the community. Since opening its small animal clinic in 2021, the organization has treated over 5,000 pets free of charge, including 1,500 patients last year alone.
In 2025, the clinic has already cared for hundreds of animals, addressing illnesses, injuries, parasite control, and other treatments.
