Veterinary Hospitals expand charitable offerings in San Diego to military members through Helping Paws
PRLog - May 1, 2015 - SAN DIEGO -- Craig J. Mohnacky DVM, CEO and President of Mohnacky Animal Hospitals (MAH) and Founder of Helping Paws Foundation (Helping Paws), announced today the launch of a Pet Care Rewards Card program that will donate back 2% of every dollar spent at MAH to Helping Paws, a charitable military appreciation organization. The new project expands their existing philanthropic outreach program that has performed over 1000 free surgical procedures for military families since its’ inception in October of 2013. Helping Paws is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization that provides charitable veterinary services through MAH for military families who are in need of pet health procedures; this includes routine and more complex medical and surgical issues. MAH has locations in Escondido, Carlsbad and Vista, California.
Dr. Mohnacky explains, “Our goal with this new project is to engage the public in honor and support of our military men and women who have made unconditional personal commitments to defend our country. We’re also reaching out to the military population in San Diego to solicit their input to define what their needs are to maintain the health of their four-legged family members, whether they be household pets or service dogs; we can identify and help screen cases that are most critical. We donate veterinary services to military personnel with a free military voucher program, and our new Pet Care Rewards project is an extension of our current effort. Military members suffering from battle-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) benefit greatly from the aid of psychiatric service companion dogs in circumventing suicide rates; it’s our duty at MAH to make sure their dogs are serviced at no charge to them, as well as their fellow comrades with family pets.”
Membership in the MAH Pet Care Rewards program includes 5% cash back rewards with every purchase, 2% automatically donated to Helping Paws for every dollar spent at MAH, two physical exams anytime during the membership year, all core inoculations (both annual and booster vaccines) for each pet in the member household and one annual nail trim. Many animal diseases and conditions can be avoided through regular examinations, vaccinations, monthly preventative treatments and diagnostic screenings. Studies indicate that the emotional and physical benefits that pets bring to their owners enhance quality of life for both; healthy pets can serve as life-long companions that aid in lowering blood pressure and creating an increased sense of purpose.
