VetsForAll
VetsForAll is an exclusively ONLINE disucssion forum on animal health, welfare and ecosystem health. This forum recognizes no geographical boundaries. Compassionate and competent vets from India, Scotland and the U.S. have joined hands to provide immediate and personalized veterinary advice through mutual discussions. This forum is not for clinical treatment. It limits itself on deliberations. This service is free for all the homeless animals that community members take care of. The vets in our team want to make lives better for animals across the world.
The discussions can be for pets, livestock, captive and free wildlife.
What We Do
In a new normal imposed due to COVID 19 - induced restrictions, many elderly people with pets have approached us for consultation. Even young people seek advice as a second opinion for complicated cases related to their pets and other animals' wellbeing. We have addressed the concerns of animal keepers in Asia, the U.K. and the USA through discussions that lay greater emphasis on listening to their concerns. Explaining the rationale behind the treatments prescribed by vets helps relieve many anxiety and worries. Enhancing awareness of animal pain, suffering, care, and rational therapy makes the core of the VetsForAll team's ideology. Rather than prescribing drugs, VetsForAll engages in writings, and deliberations to make animal lives better. We encourage animal keepers to share experiences and help each other.
