Organization History
CHEW was established in January 2021 to bring affordable access to care for pet owners who face financial challenges when providing care to their sick and/or injured pets. We recognized a void in the existing nonprofit veterinary models, which did not support lower-income pet owners in need of medical care beyond spay/neuter surgeries and vaccinations.
At CHEW, we deeply believe every animal, from every background, with any medical need should have an equal chance at a happy and healthy life. CHEW was founded on this principle, and we continue to promote fair and excellent pet care through the CHEW Compassion Fund.

Compassion Fund
The Compassion Fund is a powerful lifeline for our companion animals in their most vulnerable moments. With every dollar donated, we can make a profound impact on the lives of pets facing dire circumstances. This fund is a beacon of hope for those who are desperately in need of life-saving surgeries or vital diagnostics. Imagine a pet, suffering from a chronic illness or enduring a critical injury, unable to receive the immediate care they so desperately need merely because of the lack of finances. That's where the Compassion Fund steps in, offering additional support in their darkest hour.
HOPE (Helping Owners with Pet Essentials)
The HOPE program, which stands for "Helping Owners with Pet Essentials," is a new program for CHEW Animal Hospital. Its primary objective is to aid pet owners who may be experiencing financial difficulties. The program features a dedicated room filled with essential items like food, medication, litter, leashes, collars, beds, and more. These items are provided free of charge to eligible families who meet the program's criteria. The goal of offering these necessities at no cost is to relieve the financial burden associated with pet care and ensure that pets receive the necessary care they require.
