Support SeniorPet!

Decades of research have shown that pets positively affect our health, both physically and emotionally. This is particularly true for seniors. Despite numerous benefits, pet ownership presents many challenges for older adults. The cost of veterinary care and pet food has sky-rocketed, making it difficult to afford for individuals living on fixed incomes. Answering these needs is the purpose of the new SeniorPet program at SCES.
