Welcome to the Companion Animal Wellness Foundation website.
For many people, their pets are their companions. Whether it’s a person with financial challenges, someone struggling with emotional issues, a family with children or the elderly living alone, animal companions have proven to be a vital and cherished part of everyone’s life.
Across a broad spectrum of financial circumstances, research has shown that animal companions, cats and dogs in particular, can dramatically improve a person’s emotional and physical well-being. In fact, studies have linked pet ownership with favourable health effects that range from reduced blood pressure and anxiety in adults, to enhanced self-esteem and cognitive development in children.
Unfortunately, caring and maintaining the health of an animal can be an expensive commitment. And for some, an impossible hurdle, especially when it comes to the costs associated with veterinary medical emergency treatments. And it’s at times like these – when a lack of funds means an animal may not receive the medical attention it so desperately needs – that everyone suffers. Most of all, the animal itself.
That is where - together - we can make a difference.
