Banfield Pet Hospitals serve communities and neighborhoods across the United States. The Banfield Charitable Trust was established to give back to those communities.

According to their website,

   "The Trust's mission is to extend the Banfield vision of treating Pets like family beyond our hospital walls in the communities we serve by offering hope and support to Pets and the people and communities who love them. Perhaps no other national, non-profit organization is better suited to meet the diverse and unique challenges faced locally by Pets, families, schools, and community organizations."

According to the Tampa Bay Newspaper On line, the Banfield Charitable Trust recently announced a new program, Pet Peace of Mind, which recognizes and actively supports the unique bond between hospice patients and their pets.

The article states, in part:

   "Pet Peace of Mind, which is targeted to nonprofit hospices across the country, allows patients to complete their end of life journey without worrying about their pet‘s current or future needs. The initiative provides training and funding for hospices to start local programs that deliver volunteer pet care services for patients who are unable to care their pets while in hospice.

   The program gives recipients financial assistance with routine veterinary care, pet transportation to vet appointments, pet boarding and walking, and access to pet food..."

We do not use or endorse Banfield Hospital, be it seems as though this action is certainly one to be promoted and acknowledged.

Thanks to Banfield Charitable Trust from all animal owners!
