The Wellness Foundation Announces a New Focus on Promoting Shared Wellbeing Between Pet Parents and Their Pets

The Wellness Pet Company, makers of premium natural food and treats for cats and dogs have announced three new partners, as well as the new vision for the Wellness Foundation: to enhance the human experience and promote the mutually beneficial relationship between people and pets. Every animal lover knows the joy, comfort and companionship a connection with a pet can bring. The relationship between a pet and pet parent undeniably has mental, physical and emotional benefits that stay with us forever.

In order to celebrate those positive impacts pets have on our daily lives, the Wellness Pet Company will be partnering with Pet Partners, Pets & People Foundation and Boynton Health’s PAWS (Pet Away Worry and Stress). All three groups are responsible for assisting in mental health by offering pet-assisted therapy for everyone from students to veterans with PTSD, Alzheimer’s patients and residents of half-way houses.

“At Wellness Pet Company, we know the positive impacts stemming from the bond between pets and pet parents—it’s something we recognize and celebrate every day. The Wellness Foundation remains committed to helping pets and pet parents fulfill a life of wellbeing together, as we work to enhance opportunities for more individuals to experience the benefits,” said Reed Howlett, CEO of Wellness Pet Company. “We look forward to working with our newest partners who believe in these shared values as we continue to facilitate and encourage shared wellbeing for more pets and pet parents across the country.”

Through its partnership with Pet Partners, the national leader in promoting the benefits of animal-assisted therapy, education and activities, the Wellness Foundation will sponsor the World’s Largest Pet Walk on Sept. 24, 2022. In turn, Wellness Pet employees will have the option to participate in learning how to become registered therapy animal handlers.
