 Companion Pet Program

Meals on Wheels client with her dog

For many of our Meals on Wheels clients, a pet isn't just an animal—
they are a best friend, a constant source of comfort, and often their primary
companion. However, for homebound seniors living on a fixed income,
keeping up with the rising costs of pet care can be an overwhelming challenge.

That’s where our Companion Pet Program steps in. We believe no senior should

ever have to choose between feeding themselves or caring for the pet they love. 

Through this program, we provide essential support directly to our clients'

doors, including:

  • Nutritional Pet Food: Regular deliveries of dog and cat food so pets stay full and healthy.

  • Veterinary Care Assistance: Helping cover routine check-ups, vaccinations, and urgent care.

  • Grooming Services: Keeping furry friends clean, comfortable, and happy.

By supporting senior pets, we do more than just care for animals—we protect the profound bond between seniors and their lifelong companions, keeping homes brighter and hearts lighter.

How You Can Help: Whether you want to donate pet food, sponsor a vet visit, or volunteer your time to deliver supplies, your support makes a world of difference to a local senior and their pet.

Ready to make a difference? Reach out to us today at 954.714.6924 to learn more about volunteering or donating.
