Egypt Vet Care
Worldwide Vets is committed to providing free veterinary care for working horses and donkeys, to alleviate suffering and improve their welfare and comfort. We also work with shelters to provide free vet care, and within the community to improve the lives of farm animals.
In Cairo, Egypt, thousands of working horses, donkeys, and mules endure grueling conditions with little access to veterinary care. Many suffer from lameness, wounds, malnutrition, and exhaustion due to overwork and poor living conditions. At Worldwide Vets, we provide free veterinary treatment for working equids, ensuring they receive the medical attention they desperately need. We also operate free sterilization and vaccination programs for rescued shelter dogs and offer medical care for subsistence farmers’ livestock (goats, chickens, cows) to support struggling communities. Your donation can provide lifesaving treatment, prevent suffering, and improve the welfare of Egypt’s most vulnerable animals.
helping Working Horses and Donkeys
In Egypt’s tourism and transport industries, many horses, donkeys, and mules endure harsh conditions, often suffering from untreated injuries, exhaustion, and malnutrition. Our dedicated veterinary team provides free medical care to these hardworking animals, treating wounds, lameness, colic, and other debilitating conditions. In addition to emergency treatment, we offer essential services such as dental care, hoof trimming, and pain relief to improve their overall well-being. By educating owners on humane working practices, proper nutrition, and wound management, we help create lasting change that benefits both the animals and the people who rely on them.
Beyond working animals, we collaborate with local equine rescue organizations to support horses that have been abandoned or abused. Our team provides veterinary aid to shelters caring for neglected horses, assisting with rehabilitation programs to help them regain strength and recover from trauma. By working alongside local charities, we aim to raise welfare standards, prevent cruelty, and give these animals a second chance at a better life. Through treatment, education, and advocacy, we are committed to improving the future of Egypt’s equines.
helping cats and Dogs
In the streets and shelters of Egypt, thousands of cats and dogs struggle daily to survive. Many suffer from malnutrition, untreated injuries, infections, and preventable diseases, with little to no access to veterinary care. At Worldwide Vets, we believe that every dog deserves a chance at a healthy life, regardless of their circumstances. That’s why we provide free veterinary treatment to stray and shelter dogs, ensuring they receive the medical attention they desperately need.
Our veterinary team works tirelessly to reach dogs in impoverished communities, offering vaccinations, parasite control, wound care, and life-saving treatments. By working closely with local shelters, rescue groups, and compassionate individuals, we provide essential care that improves the welfare of these animals and gives them a second chance at a better life.
helping Farm Animals
In many rural and impoverished areas of Egypt, farm animals such as sheep, goats, and cows are not just livestock—they are the backbone of local communities. Families rely on them for milk, meat, wool, and as a source of income. However, without access to proper veterinary care, these animals often suffer from malnutrition, parasites, infections, and preventable diseases, leading to reduced productivity and financial hardship for their owners.
At Worldwide Vets, we provide free veterinary care to these vital animals, ensuring they remain healthy and productive. Our mobile veterinary team travels to remote areas, offering vaccinations, parasite control, wound treatment, and disease management. We also provide education on proper animal husbandry, nutrition, and preventative care, empowering farmers with the knowledge they need to keep their livestock in good condition. By improving the health of these animals, we help secure a sustainable livelihood for the families who depend on them.
Our Biggest Goal yet...2025
This year we have an exciting new development: we want to provide free vet care through a mobile vet hospital.
After years of supporting charitable veterinary care in Egypt, we're taking it to the next level. We’ve begun fundraising for a mobile veterinary clinic, which will be equipped with X-ray, ultrasound, essential medications, and the tools needed to provide much-needed care to these hardworking horses.
In addition to equines, we hope to expand our efforts to care for stray dogs, cats, and livestock that local communities rely on for survival. By the end of 2025 we aim to have a locally employed vet and nurse, advancing their skills with the support of our international veterinarians. This framework provides sustainable capacity building and local empowerment.
Our vision is detailed in this functional mobile hospital van.
Our van will be fully equipped and stocked with supplies to treat colic, wounds, abscesses, choke, birthing difficulties, and other conditions that currently cause unnecessary suffering and death in the areas surrounding the pyramids.
It will include a surgical table, allowing us to perform hygienic sterilizations and consultations for stray and shelter animals, as well as community farm animals. With the ability to reach places others cannot, we will respond quickly to injured and sick animals, bringing a new level of care to Egypt’s animals.
