Because of a shortage in veterinary professionals, millions of pets may not have access to the care they need by 2030. We developed Banfield Pet Academy to inspire and grow the future generation of vets by connecting kids with local veterinary professionals - reaching +120K students since launch. In July, our hospital team in Norwalk, Connecticut visited the Room to Grow Preschool to teach (the cutest!) lesson on preventive medicine, which foods dogs shouldn't eat, and the significance of socialization. Veterinary professionals can learn more about volunteer opportunities on our website. #BanfieldGivesBack #VeterinaryCare #PetHealth #FutureVets #AnimalWellness #VetVolunteers #PetCare #VetTechs

???? Celebrating 9 Remarkable Years! ???? ? This week marks the 9th anniversary of Banfield Foundation, and what a journey it’s been! Over the years, we’ve granted more than $22M to make preventive care possible for the pets that need it most. ??? ? Our grants have made a significant impact: ? ? Care Knows No Boundaries: Our CKNB program breaks down geographic barriers to care by deploying teams of volunteer veterinarians and certified veterinary technicians to help deliver care to the vulnerable pets. From Native American Reservations in Alaska, Arizona, New Mexico, Montana, and South Dakota to the island of Puerto Rico and Saipan, more than 165 volunteers have provided care to 32,000 pets in under-resourced communities in need of veterinary support where there is none. ? ?? Community Care Grants: We strive to make veterinary care affordable and accessible for pets in need. That’s why we have funded medical supplies and services for animal shelters with on-site, mobile, or pop-up clinics helping 604,000 pets across the country. ? ?? Disaster Relief Grants: We’re committed to assisting nonprofit partners in providing crucial support to pets impacted by natural and other disasters, granting $1.8 million in financial and in-kind support for veterinary care, food, medication, supplies, and transportation of pets to safety. ? ?? HOPE Funds: Helping Overcome Pet Emergencies—or HOPE Funds- offers financial assistance for income-qualified pet owners facing life-threatening conditions. We have helped provide financial support to the owners of 1,409 pets by helping them overcome financial barriers and ensure they can provide and care for their pet. ? Our nine-year milestone is a testament to the incredible Banfield Foundation team, dedicated partners, and passionate supporters. But this is just the beginning! Stay tuned for some exciting developments and new initiatives that will help us make an even bigger impact. Here’s to the next chapter in making #abetterworldforpets. ?? ? #banfieldfoundation #banfieldgivesback #endingpethomelessness #proudlymars
