Dogs and Cats Emergency & Specialty
Overview
Our Wellness Program is a comprehensive support system for our staff, clients, and community. Built on a foundation of accessibility and practicality, the program takes a multifaceted approach to promote well-being in our hospital and the community. Launched in 2020, the program reflects our ongoing commitment to caring for pets, families, and the people who care for them.
To foster wellness across every level of care, we offer a range of initiatives designed to support emotional health, strengthen community connections, and enhance quality of life:
Employee Assistance Program (EAP): A confidential resource available to all team members and their immediate household family, providing counseling, coaching, and work-life support to promote mental health and well-being.
Care Fund: Offers financial assistance to families in need, helping create pathways for pets to access the medical care they deserve.
Blood Donor Initiative: Engages community pets as “Canine Heroes,” helping to provide life-saving blood transfusions to patients in need of emergency or specialty care.
Pet Loss & Grief Support: Offers compassionate resources to help families navigate the loss of a pet, including guidance for end-of-life decisions and tools for emotional healing.
Social Impact Initiative: Strengthens the human–animal bond through partnerships, awareness campaigns, and investments in organizations that promote inclusivity, wellness, and community well-being.
