Hey everyone! We know a lot of you have been wondering what Take Me Out actually is so here’s a post to spill all the details and answer your burning questions about our biggest event of the year!

We’re looking for:
💡 Contestants to stand behind the lights — ready to keep them on… or switch them off faster than a vet running away when the nurse says, “The rabbit is in stasis.”
💘 Brave singles to walk the Aisle of Love — bring your charm, your confidence, and your rare ability to talk to humans instead of patients.

Sign up below and get involved in our biggest event of the year!

Our annual Take Me Out night is back on the 17th of April 2026 — and this year we want YOU (yes, even you hiding behind the stethoscope) to join the fun!
Last Friday, Andy and Dom officially announced it with a very important (and slightly unhinged) video 👀
👉 If you haven’t seen it yet, head over to our social media to watch — let’s just say Dom may have made a promise he’ll regret if we get the contestants we need…
We’re saying nothing more. You’ll have to watch.
We’re recruiting:
💡 Contestants to stand behind the lights — ready to keep them on… or switch them off faster than a vet running away when the nurse says, “The rabbit is in stasis.”
💘 Brave singles to walk the Aisle of Love — bring your charm, your confidence, and your rare ability to talk to humans instead of patients.
Are you:
🐶 Braver than a student restraining a chihuahua coming in for a nail clip?
🐴 More confident than a final-year pretending they definitely know how to place that IV catheter?
🐱 Ready to find love — or at least someone who won’t judge your caffeine intake?
Then step right up!
No OSCE panic, no surprise re**al exams… just laughter, flirting, and maybe even a match worthy of a case report.
If you want to take part, please complete the sign-up sheet below and we’ll be in contact:

Let’s make this year’s event more iconic than a successful snake blood draw on the first attempt.
No likey, no lighty… but endless entertainment guaranteed 😉

We are so proud of the work that StreetVet do and feel lucky to be a small part of that ❤️🫶

The StreetVet Bristol team received a lovely visit from gorgeous Billy during their last outreach.

Our team of volunteer vets and vet nurses were lucky to be joined by vet and vet nurse students from Bristol University, who make up The Bristol Paws Project 💙

A wonderful asset to our patients and us, Billy received his preventative flea and worming treatments and really enjoyed the attention and treats!

A big thank you also to Battersea for supporting our StreetVet Bristol outreach location.

Yesterday, we had our last outreach of 2025 at the Hartcliffe Microcampus 🧡 It was a great success, and it’s been heart-warming to see familiar faces returning each month, as well as new people joining us and getting involved!

This month’s session focused on pet care around Christmas, a time filled with festive hazards that can pose risks to our pets 🐾 We also gave out plenty of pet food to owners in need, and we’re incredibly grateful to see how much the community is enjoying and benefitting from these sessions.

Our next session will take place on Wednesday, 14th January, from 2–4pm. We look forward to seeing you again in 2026!

Massive thank you to who supported us and helped making this happen, and thank you and Golden Valley Vets for providing the food!
