SERVICES
Providing supplemental pet food and preventive veterinary care to pets in need.
Keeping pets at your side, one day at a time.
We offer low- or no-cost services to qualifying clients, including delivering supplemental pet food and supplies, medicines, preventive veterinary care and more to keep animals happy and healthy and with their families for life.
​
Pets are an important part of our emotional support network. Our pets are a source of warmth, trust and unconditional love, asking for very little in return. The terminally ill and elderly face many changes in their lives. They experience loss of health, while some lose financial stability, employment and even friends. They may also experience difficulty in maintaining their pets because of the financial and physical care challenges that sometimes result from their conditions. In these times, the companionship of their pets offers real emotional and psychological benefits.
