The hardest part of being a pet owner on Block Island is not having reliable veterinary care.

The Block Island Veterinary Initiative is here to change that once and for all. On behalf of all our beloved, four-legged family members, we’re asking for your help.

 

(Pictured Pet: Dug Gibbons)

On Block Island, we care about every pet as if they were our own.

If a beloved dog or cat gets sick, we worry together. We breathe a collective sigh of relief when it recovers.  Or share the owner’s heartache if the worst that can happen does. 

Bringing sustainable veterinary services to the island isn’t just about taking care of our animals.  It’s a way for us to be there for each other, too.  

Mission

Our mission is to bring year-round, sustainable veterinary services to Block Island.

2026 Capital Campaign

Our plan to bring reliable veterinary services to the island begins with purchasing a mobile veterinary clinic that will enable veterinarians to provide a full spectrum of care including
routine surgeries.
