Aging with Pets
By Dr. Anna M. van Heeckeren
Hi there,
I founded One Health Organization to help pets and their parents stay healthy, safe, and together. In the course of that work, I’ve seen pet parents face many of the same challenges, whether they’re new to the role or have years of experience.
That’s why we’ve published A Pet Parent’s Guide to Caring For Your Dog or Cat.
This free, 12-page guide will help you:
- Choose the right pet for you and your home
- Make decisions about where to get your pet
- Meet your pet’s veterinary care needs
- Adapt your home for the best life with your pet
Pet parenting isn’t always easy. If you have questions or challenges, you’re not alone! Keep this Pet Parent’s Guide by your side as you do your best to provide a safe and healthy life for your pet. Download it here.
Warmest regards,
Anna M. van Heeckeren, DVM, MS
Founder, President & CEO
P.S. Your gift to One Health Organization will help people with significant challenges get the vouchers needed to pay for their pets’ veterinary care. Please donate today.
