The Bristol Paws Project

The Bristol Paws Project We are a volunteering/fundraising society made of vet and vet nurses from the University of Bristol🧡

🐾 The Bristol Paws Project is a volunteering and fundraising society that started in 2016

🧡 We are a group of veterinary and veterinary nursing students from the University of Bristol passionate about reducing the financial barriers to pet ownership and raising awareness about the benefits of the animal-human bond.

❓What do we do❓

➜ We work with many charities and organisations in the Bristol community who share the same vision as us. StreetVet, Bristol Outreach Services for the Homeless - BOSH, Bristol Animal Rescue centre and Caring in Bristol.

➜ We do regular outreaches with StreetVet, where our committee members join volunteer vets to provide essential pet care and supplies to those in need. We also work with Bristol Outreach Services for the Homeless (BOSH) where we hand out pet food and supplies to pet owners experiencing homelessness.

💬 We run educational talks throughout the year mainly based on shelter medicine and fundraisers to support the work we do and the charities we work with.

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!

Say hello to PAWS Merch 2025: cosy hoodies and colourful tees guaranteed to turn heads and warm hearts. 🐶💙

Each one comes with the PAWS logo embroidered on the front, and the back features some truly iconic quotes printed loud and proud, including:
✨ “Save a horse, ride a vet”
✨ “A chance to cut is a chance to cure”
✨ “At best do nothing — at worst kill the dog”
✨ …and MANY more gems you probably shouldn’t wear to family dinners.

Even better? 20% of all profits go straight to PAWS, helping support the animals we love.

Our amazing committee members Kate, Kayla, and Antonia supported the team by shadowing and supplying (or providing) large coats to help keep patients warm during the winter, along with food supplies to help the pet owners 🐾🩺 💙 In the second photo, you can see Skye pictured with the coats we donated, ready for those colder months ahead! ❄️
