Since opening its veterinary clinic on San Cristóbal Island, World Vets has provided care for nearly 7,000 dogs and cats on the island, including thousands of spay/neuter surgeries that have improved animal health and helped manage the local pet population. In addition to surgery, every patient receives a comprehensive health examination and preventive care to help keep pets healthy long after they leave the clinic.
A generous donation of Centragard for cats from Greater Good Charities has played an important role in these efforts. The donated parasite preventatives have been administered to hundreds of feline patients, protecting them against fleas, ticks, and internal parasites. To extend the benefits beyond each visit, pet owners are also sent home with a 3–6-month supply of follow-up doses, helping ensure continued protection and healthier pets across the islands. We are grateful to Greater Good Charities for helping make comprehensive preventive care accessible to families throughout the Galápagos.
World Vets has been delivering free veterinary services for pets on San Cristobal Island for the last four years, with thousands of patient visits. Last week was our 18th intensive spay-and-neuter campaign in Galapagos, which provided sterilization surgeries for dogs and cats (including feral felines), health exams, dental prophylaxis, deworming, and a range of additional procedures.
World Vets completed another successful animal campaign last week, sterilizing 337 cats and dogs in Otavalo, Ecuador! Our volunteer team provided spay-and-neuter services, as well as health consultations, parasite control, and other veterinary care for the local pet population. World Vets sends appreciation to our long-time partner Bienstar Animal Imbabura (BAI) for their valuable collaboration in this recent event and their continued partnership over the last 16 years. We also give our gratitude to the volunteer teams and faithful allies and donors who support World Vets’ mission to improve the lives of animals around the globe.
World Vets, in partnership with Antigua Street Dogs Guatemala, provided free veterinary surgeries and medical care to hundreds of cats and dogs in and around Jocotenango and Antigua last week. By preventing thousands of unwanted litters through spay-and-neuter, we’re improving animal welfare while also strengthening community health through parasite control, disease prevention, and better care for both pets and people. This effort is part of our One Health commitment — protecting both animals and humans by reducing the spread of zoonotic diseases.
