Banfield and its associates give back to change the lives of pets and the people who love them

In 2016, Banfield Pet Hospital cared for more than 2.5 million dogs and 500,000 cats through its network of more than 960 hospitals across the United States and Puerto Rico. But the company is, and always has been, more than a hospital network. Within and beyond its hospital walls, Banfield, along with its associates, partners and pet owners, continued to put its passion for pet well-being into practice with a year’s worth of community-focused initiatives. Each action added up to impact more than 145,000 pets in need across the country last year. Highlights from 2016 include:

Beyond efforts directly impacting pets, Banfield also established the Banfield Better Together Fund™, a nonprof­it established to help meet critical needs of associates in the aftermath of a natural or manmade disaster. Since its launch in September 2016, the nonprofit has already provided tax-free grants to several qualifying associates impacted by both floods and fire.

“At Banfield, Corporate Social Responsibility goes beyond our individual commitments and programs—it is reflected in the heart of how we operate responsibly as a business,” said Vincent Bradley, Banfield president and CEO. “As we look ahead to 2017, I am excited to embark on another year of working together to impact the pets and people we serve, the com­munities where we live and work, and the broader veterinary profession.”

Banfield is committed to using our unique resources, reach and relationships to improve the well-being of pets, people, communities and the veterinary profession. In February 2017, Banfield will release its full 2016 Corporate Social Responsibility report, including a comprehensive review of all charitable giving and community service programs.
