PHOENIX, Aug. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- It's no secret that pet parents love their furry companions. Not only do they consider them to be family, but 86% worry about their pets' health as much as, or more than, their own, according to a new nationwide survey commissioned by PetSmart Charities. Pet parents care about their pets' health so much that they would be willing to go to great lengths to ensure their pets are healthy, with 58% of respondents saying they would even donate a kidney to their pet if they could. The hard reality is the rising cost of veterinary care in the U.S. makes it difficult for millions of doting pet parents to afford even basic veterinary care, but PetSmart Charities is working to change this.

Latinx PHOENIX, May 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Two-thirds of U.S. households now include pets, but 50 million of those pets are not getting basic veterinary care. Lack of access to veterinary care in the U.S. is disproportionately experienced in communities where there may also be a lack of access to health care and other social services. The national shortage of veterinarians adds to the complexity of accessing pet care in historically excluded communities. To help address this issue, PetSmart Charities®, the leading funder of animal welfare in the U.S., has launched an innovative grant program to support the unique needs of communities by leveraging local insights.
Key Points:
- Lack of access to veterinary care in the U.S. is disproportionately experienced in communities where there may also be a lack of access to health care and other social services.
- The national shortage of veterinarians adds to the complexity of accessing pet care in historically excluded communities.
- When a lack of access to food, housing, transportation and education impacts pet parents, it is likely the same will be true for access to veterinary care for the pets in that community.
- These grants are just one component of PetSmart Charities' $100 million commitment over five years to improve access to veterinary care across the U.S.
