Emergency treatment
Brooke's mobile treatment vehicles are well stocked with medicines and equipment and staffed with dedicated teams. In many areas, our vets run a 365 days a year emergency service. In some of those places that service is also 24 hours a day. This means we can often bring aid and treatment to critically sick or injured animals whenever and wherever they need it.
Many people we work with live in such remote villages that reaching the nearest town with a sick animal is impossible. But, for our vets and their teams, no effort is too great – they will, on average, travel over 15,000 miles a year in their extraordinary efforts to save horses, donkeys and mules from pain and misery.
Our vets also work to help animals by helping owners and local people to have a better understanding of how to care for their animals. By providing them with training we ensure they are able to provide some first aid and treatment for their own animals.

Disaster relief
Whenever possible, Brooke teams also aid disaster relief efforts. Our strong relations with local partners and government organisations means we have both the expertise and infrastructure in place to respond to some disasters in the countries where we work.
One example of our aid in a disaster situation was the earthquake which shook Pakistan in October 2005. Our teams’ field experience offered exceptional local knowledge coupled with veterinary expertise and that meant they were able to help both people and animals.
