			Vets Care Organization, Pakistan (VCO) engaged in the welfare of animals and uplift of veterinary profession through arranging different seminars, field days, free veterinary treatment camps and other activities. The free veterinary treatment camps have been arranged by VCO at different occasions at different localities in the past which provided free clinical approach to the animals and medicines to the poor farmers which is helpful in the poverty elevation in the rural areas, on the other hand these camps enhance the professional skills of the veterinary students by working in the field and dealing with the farmers. Parasites are major problem in Pakistan, which affects the health of the animal and also reduce the production of the animals also. Therefore, animals are needed to be de-wormed on regular basis to maintain their production and health. Due to the poor financial conditions, the farmers are not able to care for their animals which are very alarming condition for the animal welfare workers and NGO’s. Taking the notices of this alarming condition, VCO conduct the field days and free camps time by time to play its role in the welfare of animals.
