PAWS Animal Healthcare Clinic
The PAWS Clinic operates as both a fully functional veterinary clinic, as well as a charity organisation. We feel the best way to ensure the long term survival of PAWS, and thus allow us to achieve our objectives, is to work towards self sufficiency.
By having local dog owners using our services, we are able to generate small revenues which are all put back into PAWS and allow us to conduct the numerous field clinics that we conduct each month. The PAWS static clinic is a fully functional veterinary clinic, complete with a range of facilities including:
Boarding Kennels and Cattery
Beautifully tiled, and very spacious, our kennels are the best on the island. And with vets on-site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you can rest assured that your pets will be very well looked after. Feel free to call us, or use the contact form to enquire about availability.
Walking Service
We also offer a dog walking service in local areas, by trained dog handlers, for those that would like their pets exercised.
Ultrasound
Many pet problems are often mis-diagnosed, but having an ultra-sound can quickly allow our vets to identify internal injuries or problems and save the lives of many animals. We would especially like to thank Dr Eva Urban from Tierordination in Austria for donating this piece of equipment!
X-Ray
Our new x-ray, kindly donated by the RSPCA, allows us to quickly identify any broken bones and means we can save limbs.
Teeth Cleaning
We all brush our teeth, our pets however are another story! Our teeth cleaning service not only gets your pets teeth looking bright and clean, but also helps keep them healthy and prevents bad breath.

PAWS Mobile Clinic
The majority of the work carried out by PAWS is done in conjunction with the mobile clinics. These clinics are able to get into the temples and down to the beaches to carry out spay and neuter operations on-site, rather than transporting the animals from one location to another.
The mobile clinics can also be used to visit local schools to educate children on the care and control of both stray and pet animals, as well as local community leaders to educate them on the care and control of strays. By having a focal point of contact in the field, we can obtain public support to collect animals for treatment and release and to lobby the local and central government for better and more humane controls and management for stray animals in Phuket and Thailand.
The mobile clinics are all staffed by full-time vet and clinical assistants, who are trained in the preparation of animals for surgery and simple medical techniques. The on-going field clinics are necessary if we are to be successful in the control of the stray animal population on the Island of Phuket.
