The Companion Animal Wellness Foundation

Welcome to the web home of the Companion Animal Wellness Foundation.

Boy with DogFor many people, their pets are their companions. Whether they are elderly, families with children, individuals struggling with emotional issues or people just managing to get by, these vital animal companions occupy an important and valued part of their lives.

Across a broad spectrum of financial capability, research has shown that animal companions, cats and dogs in particular, dramatically improve both emotional and physical well-being. These studies have connected pet ownership with favourable health effects ranging from lowered blood pressure and reduced anxiety levels in adults and seniors to enhanced positive self-esteem and cognitive development in children.

When veterinary medical emergencies hit - no matter how financially responsible the owner - sometimes there is simply not enough money to secure the help their animal requires. Everyone suffers. Most of all the animal.

That is where - together - we can help.
