CancerCare and Amie’s Place Foundation Announce Innovative Educational Resources to Help Cancer Patients and Their Pets Stay Safely Together

CancerCare is pleased to announce new materials for those facing the challenges of taking care of their pets while undergoing cancer treatment. A generous grant from Amie’s Place Foundation has allowed us to create educational fact sheets, videos and a discussion guide offering advice by way of our Pet Assistance and Wellness (PAW) program. These resources were fashioned in collaboration with a panel of multi-disciplinary experts to ensure the best information for the safest care.

Launched in 2019, CancerCare’s PAW program provides financial assistance and related support services for those who might otherwise be forced to give up their pets due to financial or practical considerations. Those undergoing treatment for cancer can also apply to receive assistance for pet-related expenses including pet food, vaccinations, veterinarian visits and more. All of these services are made possible by the generosity of our donors. For more on CancerCare’s PAW program, visit us here.
